Your work history shows that you don’t stay long at any job… which is not always a good thing!

That my be true Sasha, but its not like he can change that.
Some of the wording is a bit much. The objective could be trimmed a bit. Choose just one or two items to emphase such as communication, growth, use of skills, or finding a stable, professional environement.
Reading, writing are kinda obvious from work and education.
Remove or change Constantly from CS. Might appear as complain.
Overall an excellent resume, best of luck!

Although the objective is fine – many employers don’t care if there’s an objective or not. I would remove it altogether.
I know it may look different in proper format, but you should bullet your qualifications (remove reading, and only use writing if you’ve done it professionally – otherwise use writing when talking about communication skills – oral and written). Also, I would try to make them sound more sentence-like. Example: excellent problem-solving skills; proficient with Microsoft applications; etc…
For the job-hopping, you may want to create a functional resume (rather than the traditional chronological kind as you have here). So a search of resume types or templates for more details about functional resumes. Also, you should be more specific about your tasks at your job.
Space between your HS and college education so it’s easier to read.
Bullet your activities.
Hope it helps! Again, there’s a boatload of info about this online too.
