Please help with resume

Hello Everyone,

I have really appreciated using this forum. I have learned so much from all of you. I could really use some constructive criticism on writing resumes. What do you guys think of what I have so far?

IMO objectives are pretty useless. If your objective wasn't to get a job why would you be sending your resume? If I were you I'd combine the skills section and objective into a summary where you can briefly describe yourself and your skills. I'd also elaborate a little on the work experience and leave out the numbers as they aren't really that high. Some people work more than seventy cases a week. You can also trash the related coursework and references section. If they want your references they will ask.

Not too bad though I like the layout and I'm a fan of the bullet point format.

I agree with all of networker050184's suggestions, except for possibly the coursework. Given the skills list, I think leaving it in for now may be a good thing. Just be sure to drop it once your skill set has grown.

I dont know the first thing about writing a good resume; however, if you go to www.jobfox.com you can create a profile and attach your resume. A professional resume person will read it free of charge and offer advice on some things you might consider changing.

Skills should list anything and everything you know. From OS's to protocols to specific equipment and programs.

I would get rid of the objective and references section & use the extra space to beef up & jazz up your work history section - being quantitative is good, but seeing "over xx" a couple times gets a bit repetitive. Keep some numbers in there, but also put in information about any accomplishments rather than just listing out things you've done.

I was a little confused by order of your work history too - most folks go for reverse chronological order, and although the start dates are overlapping a bit, I'd list your current position first.

Watch your capitalization on words that do not need to be capitalized.

"mobile data"
"network infrastructure"

I don't see these as proper nouns, and grammar is something you do not want to skimp on.
