Looks good, blows mine away. I have a few things you might want to add.
For your backups do you use symatec/vertias or Acronis? Might be helpful to say what backup system you use. You say you support remote users, do you support VPN and certificates, that might also be helpful to say, I would certainly say that you support a VPN client of office.
If you are confortable in Crystal Reports (business objects) you might want to mention that, I would also call it by both names Crystal Reports/Business Object. Our HR department no longer searches resumes by "Crystal reports" anymore. If you don't have Business Objects on your resume you might get past by.
Work with Blackberry at all? Another great reusme buzz word.
Anyway man, I am impressed. I'd hire you!-Daniel -

Thanks for the replies, i corrected the administrator mistake, thanks to those that pointed it out and the other things i forgot like backup system and blackberry support. I kept the company names out to keep it somewhat anonymous, they're on the actual resume.
One question, if your aim is to get an entry-level networking position should I change the career objective to that or leave it as is? -

Roll your whole selected accomplishments section into your experience and skills. Layout should look like this. Although I kind of like the summary, I've never seen one in a resume. You might want to just put your years of experience by your experience title. "Experience - 9 years"
Title/address/contact
Objective
Experience
Skills
Education
Your objective should be more about what you really are trying to accomplish by being in IT. "I want to succeed in IT networking and grow into my field with education and experience" kind of sentence. -

In your summary you might want to add your strengths as well. An example would be strong analytical skills and problem solving. Just my .02

You might want to clean up your current job position description because you should tell them your accomplishment while on the job. What software are you using on monitoring network (specific), ghosting and helpdesk system are a standard job descirption, not need to specific until you are specific responsible for the module. What implmentation and support on PDA and motorola, be specific? I might know, but some HR don't know about it. All they know is Blackberry. U know
day-to-day = don't mean anything. It is your F/T job, of course it is a day-2-day.
Implementing and migration Novell to Windows 2003 is a big project. You can specific more.
I can see all your previous job are related to helpdesk and PC Technician role. Therefore I will recommend you to emphasize what you learned and used on your Network Analyst role.
Good LuckKill All Suffer T "o" ReBorn
