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.
