    Looks nice, but I think you can condense that down some. Three pages is a bit much.

    I would condense it down as well, three pages is a bit much for an entry level resume. I would put work experience above technical skills, people care more about what you've done, not what you say you know. I would also eliminate the projects section as they are class projects, I don't think as many employers would take it as serious being that it wasn't performed on the job.

    EDIT:

    I'd remove your score you achieve on the CCNA as well, that's really not important - you either have a valid CCNA or you don't, score is just an irrelevant number to your potential employers and might come across as a bit much listing your scores for classes, class projects, and certifications.

    - Moved work experience above technical skills
    - Created a 2x2 table with no border to put the technical skill criteria in. It takes half the space now and made the resume 2 pages
    - Removed ccna / project scores

    The reason I kept the project stuff in there was because I don't have a lot of work experience yet and thought that it would give an idea of the type of work i've done. Once I get another year or two of experience, i'll remove that section.

    Sounds good!

    Wow I am so jealous right now it is stupid.

    University of British Columbia. This is my dream school.
    Being able to be in Vancouver going to school and watching hockey. What is better than that?

    I could only wish for enough money to move to Vancouver and go to that school paying out of state. For now my plan is to get my degree in the states and move to canada after graduation and become a citizen.

    I will stop drooling now.

    Go Canucks :]
