Here is my resume. I've recently added to it, re-formatted, and tweaked it up. Please feel free to leave comments on the google doc itself. Should be open to the world. Thanks in advance.
My Resume
Something seems wrong with your resume because you claim "key skills" that aren't reflected in your previous positions. For example, how did you develop "Exceptional understanding of PCI DSS compliance" when none of your positions even mention it?
Somebody called me up, had a long chat and asked me to send my CV to him. I told him I have not updated it in 7 years, but promised to send it during the weekend...
So I have a bit of a dilemma, I don't especially like what I had written up 7 years ago and I've done so many things since then that even if I try to limit it to very broad things like "designed and implemented VmWare Infrastructure environment" it will end up several pages long (also the last 5 1/2 years has seen information security, risk management, software development etc).
I know he'll be reading it through, so I probably don't have to be so concerned about it being passed over, but I'm wondering what kind of format I should be using when somebody actually asked me to send it over instead of me applying for a position? Should I spend a lot of time polishing a summary or concentrate on getting the most important general responsibilities and achievements down?
I struggle with this same dilemma when my resume comes up too. You'll want to have your resume just as polished for that reviewer as with any other reviewer you've never talked too.

You can't be serious. This thread beats it in to your head (but apparently not yours) that it's not about formatting here, it's about content review.Looks pretty good but I'm no expert. Could it be formatted a bit better?
Actually, because of the formatting, I didn't spend much time reading it.But yes Glyphic your resume is in pretty good condition. See if anyone else pipes up..

Doesn't seem too much different from the one you previously posted; here's the feedback I provided that time. Your GeekCode tells me more about you than your resume does.
Not everyone could see the Google Docs version though
As for GeekCode, it doesn't really help when it comes to a job.
Point is that, in two months, your resume has not materially changed. Are you even trying? What is it you want from this thread?

I corrected the formatting, since i just kinda copy and pasted it without really checking it much.Actually, because of the formatting, I didn't spend much time reading it.
There are several grammatical errors. The most frequent is using a comma before and in two item list, such as "Diagnosing syntax, and other issues" or "Setup, and maintenance".
The biggest issue to me is that you're in-specific. For example, this bullet: "Provide remote and phone support for Doctors, Nurses and other office staff using the e-MDs EMR software suite." doesn't tell me if you actually did the support, or contracted someone to do the support. Or worked in a group that did the support together. I don't know what kind of issues you were working, or what your expertise is, or how busy you were. What were you challenges and how good were you at addressing them? Would your success there map to success in my organization, if I hired you?
Let me try mine again (not linked to Google Docs). I'll bet it looking the best I can given the constraints of the forums.
Hey guys can you take a look at my resume and let me know what you think? I am hearing very little back , and Im not really sure why when applying to low level system admin positions.
Thanks

Thank you so much for the info, I will definitely take your advice.
Can you let me know what you think of my landing page? I have been directing many possible employers there.

Thanks again.
Depending on the legal landscape where you are, a picture might preclude your resume from being considered altogether. At a previous job, I was required to throw away any resume that included a picture and deny having received it.

This. No pics. It will get your resume tossed.
