I'm hoping to move out of my current position and would like some help to make my resume look more "adult" and less "college student." I'm would like to tailor the resume specifically for an event planner/coordinator position.
The format of the resume doesn't come through with cut and paste. Can I add it as an attachment anywhere? Thank you for your help!!
Seeking a creative and intellectually challenging position in the event industry that will utilize and allow for personal/professional growth incorporating my skills, talents, personality and interests.

Did you help organize/plan any major events like really large parties or for a large company that you can name drop? I might add something like "from parties for 10 up to 5,000 people" or something. to show that you can handle different sizes.
1I agree with TidalWave, some numbers would be good. Also, maybe how many weddings a year do you plan?
2i agree with the previous posts. giving an idea of the size of the events you plan will shows range, & knowing how many weddings you plan highlights your time-management & organizational skills.
