I think it looks just fine. Perhaps your being too critical with yourself?
I think it looks very good!

Maybe just one thing..
Clerical Work, summer 2001 - present.
Filing, blueprinting, and phone answering.

Make phone answering,
fielding and distributing inbound calls.
Or
receiving and distributing all inbound calls.

I think you need to be more specific than "entry-level position leading to advancement . . . "

Tailor this phrase to the particular job job you are applying for.
