1.. Drop that “objective” section – serves no purpose and interrupts the reader from getting to your qualifications.

2. I’d try to ‘beef up” the paragraph on your latest position.

3. Delete info on your “references” and you don’t nned to include the statement “furnished uopn request” either.

I would probably want to find out why you left Radio Shack but otherwise, your background looks pretty-durn good.
