    A few quick things.

    Your resume should begin with a professional summary, then followed by an education section and a certification section. No need to list A+ at the top of the resume next to your name like that.

    The qualifications section can be incorporated into the professional summary section to create a competent summary using complete sentences.

    No need to list high school because you have a college degree. You can delete that.

    That should at least give you some ideas on where to go from here.

    Take a look at how a great resume looks. Now granted this person is deep in their career. But the format you can still use for yours. Note the paragraph summary for each job and bullets for special accomplishments.

    Try your best to format yours like this. start with a summary of your skillset. then key skill areas, then get into the experience.

    Took your guys' advice and made a few changes. I do not however like how it spilled over to the next page and it is not a full page. Any other thoughts?

    The link will lead to my edit of your resume. This format is what landed me my current job in Cyber Security. I left some of my old stuff on there to give you a feel of how to edit it.

    I put my A+ Certification # there. A lot of companies like to verify you actually hold the cert (Since a cert could be photo-shopped), so providing the # allows them to independently verify through the official website.
