Going to beat up on this a bit in order to help you give a better first impression on the resume.

1. Lack of capitalization of proper names.
2. There is no objective.
3. You gave yourself two different titles at Wal-Mart.
4. You are repeating yourself.
5. You are repeating yourself.
6. You are repeating yourself.
7. Spelling & punctuation errors
8. On your certificate list the A, B, C was that your grades or you listing of them. What about the others? Looks like to me you need to get rid of the A-C labeling. If it was grades the Honor Roll Award says enough.

Your address scheme seems odd to me. Are you trying to find work internationally?

"Sales Associate

Since above says Sales Associate and last sentence says Stocking Associate, which are you? If you changed positions/titles put it as such and list when the change happened.
Also since above says Nov 09 - present it is pretty obvious you are currently working, so the first sentence needs to be taken out or severely edited.

"The reason for this because its giving me a chance to do as much studying on my HVAC and Refrigeration on my free time, its also supporting me in purchasing my tools, and transportation."
You say study on your free time, are you going to an online school? How are you studying on your free time? The studying on your free time is a bit cheesy IMO without a further explanation.

"Mcintyre Elwell & Strammer does the remolding work for Publix stores, and bells outlet, I had a chance by my uncle to go to work for them temporarily, I learned what it was like on the construction side.

The company did remolding for a Publix stores and bells outlet. It gave me a chance to see what it was like on the construction side . It also gave me a chance to meet different people from different areas of the construction field. It was a very good learning experience."

So do they do remodeling work for Publix stores and Bells Outlet? Again multiple repeats. Don't know your area and never heard or either store, but according to Google it looks like it should be spelled Bealls Outlet. Also Bealls Outlet since it is a proper name should have the first letters of the name capitalized. I would also highly recommend you remove your uncle from the resume. Don't know the situation but it looks bad if you uncle got you hired but couldn't keep you hired, yeah I know the economy and all, but still.

There is plenty more left, but that should get you started so you can re-write and re-post.

I would also change your wal mart retail to customer service. Even the description, change it to stock shelves,assist customers,train new employees.
Customer service skills are a huge asset.

Organize it abit different too you should have your most important things at the top. So if an employer has 20 seconds to gaze at your resume he ll get the goods.

Think of it as your first interview, it has to be as well groomed as though you were sitting in front of me...if that resume came across my desk, there were not a lot of reasons in form and function that would've kept it out of the round file. Grammar, vocabulary, punctuation and presentation are all a part of a good resume...it helps carry our eyes to things like work experience and certifications. :cheers:
