1. Your resume looks great. The fact that you are bilingual Spanish should have gotten you a job for sure by now. Also, you have some pretty in demand skills and experience. Maybe you have too many jobs on your resume? Did I count six jobs in under 5 years? That's a lot. Maybe fine tune it and try to present a less job-hoppy kinda impression. It makes me wonder if you are getting fired from these jobs .. like maybe you can't fit in or something. good luck!!
2. personally i agree with the above - take out 1 or 2 of these..fine tune it ALSO Your objective makes you sound like your happy to just fit in, do the job, and not really aspire to achieve or aim higher i quote " OBJECTIVE: To obtain a position in a professional office where my skills can be utilized to my utmost potential and will be of benefit to the facility’s staff and clients." this is all very well, but where does it say " My aims are to be the best of my ability, achieve my potential and realise my goals " yeah it sounds cheesy - but it makes you sound like your driven, enthusiastic, have aims, goals and want to achieve more than you currently strive to.
3. If the additional details part is in the resume take it out! Never talk bad about a past employer or employees during an interview or resume. If not I would suggest taking out the shortest time period jobs or the first 1 or two jobs you had. Good Luck!!!!!
