I wouldn't say "entry-level" in your objective. You're just asking for low pay. Why not "skill-building?"

And what do you apply "computer, physics and mathematics" to? You can't apply them unless there's something to apply them to.

Perhaps you have experience applying those skills to real-world issues, or something similar.

 

You sound like a great candidate for a entry-level techsupport monkey.

Just a layman also in the job hunt, but maybe consider:

1) Drop the objective line, they probably know what you're there for.
2) Put relevant experience at the top right under education. Then relevant skills.

I could be wrong on either or all of the above.

Is that okay to drop the objective line? I saw many resumes and they all have this on the top.

how did you never get internships?

 

[KeyserSoze]

May I reccomend you post a copy of it? Because a lot of it is appearance, readability, etc.

(Minus the personal info, of course.)

I would strongly recommend that you PM HotChic. She works in Recruiting and is extremely good at what she does. If she has the time to spare, I'm sure that she'll be glad to help you out.

Remove the object line. 100% of the time it is pointless garbage that provides no useful information to the recruiter.
