Hey Guys,

I am looking for some suggestions on how I can improve my resume. I am aiming for an entry-level networking position; this will be a career change for me. Any constructive feedback will be appreciated.

Like I said in the other thread, run a spellchecker.

Spellcheck runs automatically in most programs these days. Just encase I did run it manually but still nothing, can you highlight my errors?

ratbuddy

You spelled competencies as companencies and certifications as certifcations.. In the large bold letters.. Did you send this to employers?

mawbkk

Ah sugar, welcome to the world of dyslexia. No I haven't sent it to any employers yet, would you be mortified if I had?

ratbuddy

Nope, they would have thrown it out though. Maybe sent someone over to kick your dog too, depending which company you sent it to..

You might be right. Thanks for correcting my spelling, I actually would of been quite embarrassed if someone pulled me up on it in a interview. Any thoughts on my CV after spelling corrections?

Some thoughts:

You did not list your position in the Web Design Firm.

Do you have any volunteer work, or professional organization memberships to list?

The capitalization in
Wireless Connectivity by setting the Channel, SSID and Security
Web" is probably not necessary.

Under key skills:
 Excellent knowledge of fault finding and problem diagnosis
 Able to work autonomously with minimal supervision or with a team.

Punctuation should match all bullets.

Thank you,

My current position is full time so its been difficult to even get volunteer work. I think your right though, some more practical experience would defiantly ease this transition so I better keep applying.
