I have updated my resume and I am trying to get some real advice from people in the IT industry. I have searched google for a forum where people submit and critique each others resumes, but the few I have found get very little postings.
 
Post it here:D

Among others, I am in a technical position in the industry. I have taken courses on resume writing and job interviews as well.

Make sure you remove any personal information, such as your name and address. Just make a mock name and address so that we can check the formatting on that stuff.

Ok, there it is. Let me know what you guys think! I am trying to get feedback on what type of impression it conveys as far as my abilities, professionalism, and experience. Would you hire someone for a desktop support or jr network admin related position with this resume? Thanks!
 
Put that in a Word Document and attach it here. It's really hard to get a grasp on the formatting otherwise.
