Idk if im not exaggerating my skills enough or i need more? I can use some advice however. Attached is my resume. Can you help with what im doing wrong here? Do i need more experience?

Effective resume design heavily depends on the type of job you're looking for. What kind of job are you aiming at? If you're using the same resume for a wide range of jobs, that might be the problem.

This resume reads weird.
- If current job is, well, current, why verbs in past tense? The opposite is also true: old jobs with verbs in present tense.
- "Represented the manufacture" what does this mean?
- "traveling to VIP customer sites to resolve complex network and wireless network problems, while conducting onsite training to installers and product dealers" - so you were multitasking by training and troubleshooting at the same time?
- Wireshark is one word
- CompTIA is not properly capitalized
- Wi-Fi is not right
- It's "IPsec"
- "IP Conflicts" - why are you capitalizing conflicts?

I hope you are just working on this and not actively sending it out. If I see this resume come across my desk I would immediately put it in the circular file due to the problems listed above.

as noted from cyber - grammatical errors are a no no learn to abuse spell check. Also there is a pinned topic on resumes. i suggest you read it and adjust your resume accordingly.
