Hi,

would you say you want to highlight your education more? or your experience? It seems like you're heavy weighting your experience alot...have you considered beefing your education section and placing more highlights there...ie. instead of saying "with focus on IT", try listing core courses you've taken that show that you have IT background in your academics as well.

You never know what type of hiring manager you will come across, some prefer education over experience, others are the other way around, I find most will want BOTH...lol..

Cheers!

I agree. Putting a bit more about your education would probably be a good idea. List anything and everything that has to do with IT, and anything notable in the management area. Aside from that, it all looks good.

Data Communication
Unix administration
Web Development including E-Commerece Applications
Java Programming

Management:
