Would you hire me?
Resume: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Are there any tips/hints you could give me on how to make it better/fix this. I talked to my neighbour who is a manager at Bentleys and she told me that one sided resume for retail careers are best, do you agree with that?

With a resume like this, I would certainly call you for an interview! Just a few suggestions:
Your objective is really weak, if an employer only read it (and some of them will) they wouldn't be too interested in you. It should always reflect what you looking for in your position and what you can give to that company; yours is way too generic, doesn't tell the company what you are actually looking for or why you'd be a good match for them. If you want a retail job you might try: "Seeking a position in sales where I can utilize my retail experience and my diverse skills in costumer service to provide superior service and bolster sales."
Change the descriptions of what you did to "I" instead of "Associates do" and "Servers do". So the description of your first job should read "As a Costumer Service Associate *I* was responsible for..." Change all the others decriptions too, using the word I. You are not just your title. If you achieved or organized anything above and beyond just what your job title says (like if you were employee of the month, top sales or if you did something special as the Editor or on the Grad committee) mention those things that as your specific achievements.
Your availability is so open I think youâ??d be fine to not mention it on your resume, you can simply mention in the interview that you would only be available until 7pm Saturday through Tuesday. Oh, and you could drop you elementary and middle schools, if you needed extra space, they aren't really important.
And this is really just trivial, but Iâ??ve never seen a resume say "Will release upon request." Normally it reads "Available upon request." which just seems a bit more polite to me.
Normally I'd agree with your neighbor that entry-level and highschoolers resumes (not just in retail) should be kept to a page. So certainly try, but you have enough experience on your resume I don't think it would be too bad if you needed two pages. Don't double side it though, staple the pages together.
