Hi,

Your CV lacks some important areas and I would definitely start with a career objective, especially that you want to work in the business field (at least this is your educational background as I see). Then, I would include some relevant skills and achievements, and I would place them in a "Summary of Qualifications" area. I mean the way you listed your experience is good, but the employer should get an insight of you from the very first lines he reads. I recommend you to have a look at this type of resume format:
