"WHAT DOES THAT MEANS PLEASE?
I MEAN MANAGEMENT MATERIALS?????"

it means ur either a joke or youre full of crap

after just a quick review, I'd say you need to watch your verb tenses. For example, you've got "provide" and "escalates" and "assembling" and it needs to be all the same (provided, escalated, assembled...). In general, you want it all to be in the past tense.

In the skills summary, no offense, but most of the lines need some rewriting or rearrangement. For example:
"Knowledge of fundamental concepts..."
"Able to (or ability to, your choice) work independently as well as part of a team; adaptable to changing technical environment; ability to work under pressure" or something like that.
"Experienced with use and application of diagnostic tools..." (you might want to combine this with the line about resolving printer/desktop/computer equipment as it's a bit redundant)
"Strong time management and prioritization skills" (no need to say you're punctual, they expect you to be on time)
"Skills at preventative maintenance and quality assurance at the desktop level"

I'd cut out the sentence about managing multiple tasks & mix it in with the time management line, and you've already said you can work well under pressure. If you're going to keep "Talented IT professional..." line, then you need to move it out of the skills section & make yourself an Objective section, or put it on your cover letter somehow. It isn't really a skill and doesn't fit with everything else you listed.

Also the work history order needs to be reversed so that your last or current position is first and your oldest position held is last. I'd retitle the section to either "Work History" or "Experience" - not a combo of both. Be careful about those verb tenses and make them all match.

Do you have any education or certifications listed on your resume?

not paraphrasing and/or copying skill requirements from job postings and using them as qualifications would also be helpful

maybe someone helped you with your resume, if so, they did you no favor, to me its obvious what i am reading
