Resume Critique

Hi all,

I just updated my resume because I have a contract that's about to end. I've been sending my resume out, but I haven't been getting any call backs. I was wondering if some of you could look over for me and see if I am missing anything. Thanks in advance.

I'd be careful posting real addresses and phone numbers on the internet. I'd recommend copying and pasting the text minus the header into your post.

Looks good to me. I'm not a good resume judge though so, take that for what it's worth.

I'd change the summary to objective & would concentrate on writing it better. Looks good otherwise though.

p.s Expect some prank calls if that's you real phone number.

Looks pretty good. The only thing I'd recommend is switching the positions of the Education and Work Experience sections, since the Work Experience section is cut off by the page break. Let the Work Experience section take up the remainder of that first page, and have Education on the second. If you want to flesh out the second page, try adding in an Additional Experience section, outlining what hardware and software you've worked with, what certs you have, etc.

Conversely, if you want to fit what you've got onto one page, I'd suggest dropping the body-text of each section down from 11 and 12 point font to 8 or 9 point. You can also shrink the margins between the sections, which should allow you to fit everything in a little better. What you don't want is for one section to be cut in two by the page-break.

What do you mean by "writing it better"? What needs improved?

Also I have removed my personal information from that copy of the resume.
