Format your resume a little better. Use bullets. Power words. Bold or italics. List your accomplishments and SHOW what you have done. Use headings etc…

I would probably down play the three employment histories at the bottom.You save space and keep brief not as important as the others. I might drop them, Think about it is necessary to get where a want to be. I do not want to go back working for 6, 8 and 7 dollars a hour do you?

Your resume did not look bad to me. You might consider making it easier to read by using bullet point, as some people skim them quickly and that can improve readability. Also, maybe more details under any sections you wish to emphasize?

Unfortunately, your work experience lists any number of short-term jobs ranging from 3 months to 9 months in duration which gives the appearance to a future employer that you are not a long-term employee. Can you explain in your resume why in those specific instances, were you discharged and for what reason? And if you were fired, what did you learn from that experience? Such a discussion would greatly enhance your chances of obtaining long-term employment.
Good luck!
