Would appreciate any feedback and corrective criticism on the attached resume.

Thanks in advance.

I am no specialist on resumes, but I would suggest that you put bullets only on your achievements/key technologies, while listing daily tasks and duties as a regular text.

Thanks. I am going to rework the Tasks / Responsibilities.

Anyone else have any comments or recommendations?

I will see what I can do to help you out with this. I'll stick to formatting issues for now. If you need help with writing and content, please let us know.

While you do have over 10 years of experience listed on your resume, I still highly recommend you get this down to two pages. Three pages is excessive and difficult to read through. More on this later.

Your professional summary shouldn't contain two paragraphs like this. As it stands, this reads as if you had two separate resumes and simply merged them together. This information needs to be consolidated and edited down into a single coherent paragraph.

Regarding the Key Skills section, instead of listing a bunch of software, technologies, and protocols, I would rather see you expand upon this information and explain HOW you are proficient in these skills, especially in a business/enterprise environment. Ideally I would recommend that you incorporate this info into your professional experience, and then drop the skills section altogether. This will also help to reduce the overall length of this resume.

Within the professional experience section, each job description should begin with a high-level overview of your daily duties and responsibilities, and then use bullets to highlight special achievements, projects, promotions, etc. Don't rely solely on bullets like this. I will link you to a resume that's a great example on how to format and write this properly.

Regarding getting the resume down to two pages, you will probably need to consolidate and/or trim some of your bullets. Also, try to refrain from using personal pronouns ("I", "my" etc) within your resume. Ideally you want to write this as academically as possible (I glanced over your writing and it seems like you did a good job overall).
