Couple of things:Originally Posted by ./m
1.) I don't think it's normal to put what kind of job you are seeking on your actual resume. It looks fine in this case, but that isn't something I've ever done before.
2.) I think you could go into a bit more detail generally. Is there any prior eduction that you've had, at all, which you could add on there?
3.) Some of the language is a little jargon-y, and may be alien to some people. The person reading your resume may not necessarily be an expert in the field where you are applying to work.
Apart from that, it looks fine to me. I might be able to tidy up the words you use, but other than that, it's a decent resume.

Ok so it looks good on the whole but a few tips:
1) Put experience in reverse order, with your most recent at the top. That is the most relevant so they should see that first(likewise with education when you have other stuff to add there in the future)
2) Can't see what details you've covered but basically make sure you include: Name, Address, Phone Number, Email
3) It's good to have stuff not directly related to the job on there. For example, do you do any voluntary work? Play in a sports team? Basically anything to give the employer something to look at that makes you stand out, makes you seem more human and also gives you something to talk about at interview.
4) This is just a personal thing really but I'd probably change point 3 of your Summary, it reads a little cheesy and doesn't sound genuine, which is the most important thing with a CV/resume.
5)As someone said, don't put the position you're applying for, they'll know since you'll be sending it with a covering letter.
6) References- Include the contact details of at least 1, preferably 2 people who they could get in touch with. If you're young, one is fine to be an academic reference(form tutor or the teacher who knows you best) but at least one should be someone you know in a more work/voluntary based manner if possible
The main plus points:
-Concise
-Explains what you did at each role/job
-Bullet points make it easy to pick up and read
Some of the stuff I suggested won't be a massive deal if it's just for class but it's 1)good to get into the habit and 2)useful to have a CV you can just update rather than having to write one from scratch.
Hope that helps
Edit:
I think a CV like this is going to be for applying for jobs in the industry where the language is going to be fairly well understood. If someone's hiring for a computer position and doesn't have someone who knows computers reading the CVs then I'm not sure you would want to be working for them...
That sounds like a good attitude to bring to an interview.
Joking aside, I think some kind of compromise is needed: the general project should probably be described in layman's terms, but additional detail may be given underneath in a more technical language. When you apply for a job, there are multiple who you need to please, and usually not all of them are specialists.
