I'm working on my resume... (Now with attached resume!)

Improvolone

Beleive me, I'll be back here with more questions. Maybe even a requisition for a resume review.
But for the time being... this resume is going with me to a job fair. I've research the companies that will be there and what they are hiring for. The jobs are similar enough for an entry level that it's worth my time talking to them, but the jobs have different titles. What should put as my target job title? Here is the list I've assembled for what they are hiring for.
Assistant Admissions Representative
Recruiting/Sales
Field Sales Representative
Sales Representative - Logistics Services
Management Trainee
Sales Associate
Account Executive
Business Development Managers
Telephone Claims Representative
Sales/Marketing
FULL- AND PART-TIME SERVICE REPS
SALES REPRESENTATIVE
Sales Manager in Training
Retail Development Program
Management Training Program
Supervisors
Underwriter Trainee
Trainee Program


(Sure it might not sound like Supervisor is an entry level position, but since this is a college job fair a lot of these companies are looking for people to train when they are hired)

Your resume does not need to have a target job title, it needs a target job description. Based on this list I would write up something short and non-commital about a job dedicated to customer service.

Frankly, I don't even think it needs that. Not that many resumes have Objective sections any more. If you're applying to a job, it's pretty safe to assume that you want that job.

My resume has four sections:

Name & Contact Info
-
Skills (Technical, since I work in IT)
-
Job History
-
Education

I agree with Feral. In fact I have to admit your original post confuses me somewhat; is this one company hiring all those positions, or many companies each hiring for various different positions?

In any case, I always start my resumes with something like "I am interested in the ________ position", but I've not worked a lot of jobs that are the kind of jobs you really need a resume for, so I may not be the best person to emulate.

Its a job fair, so each position is from a different companies page on the job fairs website.

I've never actually seen a resume that describes the job the person is looking for (and certainly not the title). As mentioned, I think it's redundant if you are applying for that job. This may vary by industry, but in finance/consulting it's not done. It will be assumed that if you are applying for that job, it is a job you are looking for.

Tentatively finished

My background in education and work is theatrical. For this resume I tried to focus on the aspects that would benefit a business hiring me for other entry level positions.

That’s true if you’re applying for a specific job. But at a job fair a job is getting jumped in with dozens or hundreds of other resumes so adding an objective helps.

New version available, check OP.

I'd put the skills section under the "customer service section."

The order would be:

1. Customer service... I guess this is a personal statement?
2. Skills
3. Experience
4. Education

Also, take off the city/state of where each job was because it's not relevant.

Improvolone

Customer Service is the area I'm focusing on, and then the personal statement is following it. After some back and forth and input from others, it makes sense to me to put the target job description in for a job fair.
