Immediately: Gender, birthday, and marital status should be left out. I also don't know what kind of a gender "nam" is supposed to be.

July, 2010 Graduated Major In Construction Economics and Management - University of Civil engineering.

State your degree. Like "July 2010: B.S. degree in XXX."
I also wouldn't capitalize anything that is not directly a part of your degree. But I'm no native speaker, so that has to be taken with a grain of salt.

From September, 2010 – October, 2011

Just "Sept. 2010 - Oct. 2011:". I think writing out the months is too long and you don't need the "from" either.

Responsibilities

You're talking about your past experiences here so you need to use past tense. Only use present tense for your current job responsibilities.

Computer skills: Good at computer: Fluent Excel, Word, Powerpoint.
Fluent Autocad, Estimate Softwares: G8, Accitt …
Take advantage of Internet environement.
- English skills : Communication English basic; prepare and make contract, documents.
Reading comprehension and work with Bilingual documents.

"Good at computer" sounds like a 12 year-old. Leave that out completely and just state which skills you have.
"Take advantage of internet environment" -> no clue what that means
If you say that your English skills are just basic they are going to trash your application right away.

I also don't think that hobbies should be a part of your resume either.

Those were the points that I noticed immediately, there's a lot more room for improvement I'm sure.

Thanks you so much, Rob702 !
I'm going to check again the points that you noticed. The most importance point, you notied for me about "Gender" that i'm male. Hihih..."Nam" in my native langue means male, a man. One more time, thanks you very much

I recommend using a thesaurus (Thesaurus.com | Find Synonyms and Antonyms of Words at Thesaurus.com), or a good employment/jobs web site, to diversify the verbs and make them more specific. For example, "Make Bid documents; Make a bill of Quantities and cost estimation" could be:

* Generated bid documents
* Prepared bill of quantities and cost estimation

I would recommend "googling" some resumes on the Internet and using verbs from those. I would also encourage you to reorganize your resume, as the information therein is a bit of a mess.

Jobs in the past should have past-tense verbs!

Get an educated native English speaker or a non-native English language teacher to proofread your resume. There are many language errors here; I'm sorry, I don't have time to correct them all for you.
Good luck.

If you're applying for jobs in the USA, I think you should use the American spelling of words and not the British form.

Favourite should be "Favorite" Though I would remove the "Favorite" section entirely.

You may also want to consider paying for a service to fix your resume.

I think you should mention WHERE you got your degree. Also, a lot will depend on what you are applying for. "Knowledge of laws and regulations" doesn't mean anything. What laws? what regulations?
