Passed Test - Resume?

I passed the 70-270 yesterday. It was my second time taking the test but I was alot more prepared this time.

What do you put on your resume for this exam, the title is quite long. Does this look alright?

Certifications:
● Microsoft 70-270 Windows XP Professional Aug 29, 2007
● Comptia A+ Certified Professional Dec 28, 2006
● Comptia Network+ Certified Professional May 23, 2007
● Dell Foundation 2007 Desktops July 30, 2007
● Dell Foundation 2007 Portables July 30, 2007
● Dell Customer Experience V.2.5 July 26, 2007

In my opinion I would just put MCP (70-270), or MCP (Windows XP Pro), or just MCP

The 70-270 is an exam, not a certification. However, passing 70-270 makes you an MCP which IS a certification.

By the way, congrats on your pass!

i'm thinking MCP might look better than microsoft. I know the 70-270 is the exam but I seem to interview with alot of people who know nothing about these anyway.

My resume:

Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator - MCSA
Microsoft 70-291 - Implementing, Managing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Network Infrastructure
Microsoft 70-290 - Managing and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Environment
Microsoft 70-270 - Installing, Configuring, and Administering Windows XP Professional

I would definately put the entire name. I wouldnt want to rely on HR knowing what MCP 270 meant.

The above is sort of misleading. On my resume it is spaced in a manner to indicate that those tests are part of the MCSA not 4 completely different certs. It just didnt show up correctly on the forum....it ate my white spaces.

That doesn't look bad.

Once I attain the MCSA I will probably remove alot of the other stuff. Those Dell certs on mine are just plain silly. I had to get them for a job that didn't pan out but they make nice resume filler for now.
