You don’t need a title for a resume since everyone knows what a resume is. However, as a critioque, your work experience doesn’t stand out - you list duties, not responsibilities. For example, when you say "plot graveyards" - how did you plot them, what was your role - did you oversee a team of people plotting them, did you work alone (self-management), did you use a GIS/GPS system to do this, how much of the planning of the project was left to you. Similarly, for the customer service part, did you have th authority to decide on solutions to customer problems without necessarily getting a supervisor’s approval. I would cut down a bit on the education (give the real basics…degree, maybe GPA, school and time in school) and beef up the experience part (especially with things for which you could take initiative…back up that claim to ability to operate in a fast changing environment). I bet you have a lot of skills you are hiding in there.

can someone please critique my resume?
