Your objective is terrible. I mean, what type of job are you even applying for? Lets say you wanted a job as a programmer. Then your objective should say something like "I am seeking employment as a software developer where my programming skills..."
There's a typo in your first accomplishment. Or at the very least, I have absolutely NO idea what you're talking about because the wording and/or grammar is confusing.
You started using bullets, but then you switched to semicolons in the Accomplishments. Don't do that.
Spruce up that stuff and it should be a lot better. Also, if you could make it more concise... I mean, how important really was making the departamental calendar in your last job?

Well, I spotted an error. Second paragraph, first sentence; "center at for department" the wording; "at for" doesn't make any sense. Also, if you have Microsoft Word, they have a palette that puts the document into a good looking resumé format. All you have to do is fill in the blanks...
Also, I would fix how you spell "Aide" because an "Aide" means someone who is an assistant to an important political person. "Aid" (without the "e"), is for helping or guiding someone or something... so you definitely want to change that.
I would have someone else read over you paper cause if there are any more mistakes like the ones i spotted, your interviewer is less likely to hire you if you can't spell things correctly or use proper grammar... just saying.
Hope this helps!
