My name is Charles Singletary. I would briefly like to receive some insight on how my resume should be set up for corporate America in the New York City, Greater Manhattan area. Last summer I took an Internship with Major League Entertainment Media Management and Licensing Firm in NYC. I just recently graduated from Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia with a Bachelors of Liberal Arts Degree. My major of concentration was Political Science. So far I have been unsuccessful obtaining any jobs, with even places like Macy's, Enterprise and Burger King. My dream is to work for Sony BMG. I have the experience and meet all of the qualifications that are required for an Assistant position at Sony, and other record labels, not to mention corporate Assisstant jobs in general. I was hoping for you to be able to take a look at my resume and let me know exactly what I need to correct on it to make it more appealing to the corporate world. I have included it below. Thank you for your time and God Bless.Charles W. Singletary
