Resume Review...

Hey guys,
I've been getting some interview calls here and there but I'm just not locking down the position. Now granted, my resume is changing about every 2 weeks lately (either I make minor changes to gussy it up, or I get a new certification), I just wanted to get your take on what how it looks right now.
I'm waiting on a callback from two different recruiters regarding two different positions currently and well, I'm not sure if I've been getting these interviews just because I live close to the job and they have a quota to interview or if they actually think I could potentially get the job.
This is what I've been sending out right now and though I'm not sending out as many as I used to, I'm still hitting about five submissions a day so any help to help me get an edge over the rest is much appreciated.
Resume is attached to this thread.
Thanks.

Comments
1. Remove the certification graphics. They clutter the resume.
2. Split your address and email/phone into right and left alignment (use a table with no border).
3. Your skillset should be in bullets.
4. Set the same alignment for all sections as needed. Case in point can be seen on the 2nd page .
5. Remove certifications you have not received. This was just told to me today as well. If you do not have the MCTS: AD, MCTS: NI, MCITP:SA, CCENT or CCNA then remove them from the resume. It adds clutter and looks like you are padding your resume. Bad juju.
6. Consistency. Use the same tabs and paragraph spacing throughout.
7. Lastly, remove the "References available upon request".
Just my .02 for now.
edit to add:
8. Use consistent tense throughout. You should decide right away whether your resume will be in past or present tense.
9. Professional accomplishments in the experience section should also have bullets.
Anyways, wasn't too worried about my email being visible, I mean I use my real name on here for crying out loud so it's not like I've got much I can hide from the outside world.

1. Bullet-point the different lines in your relevant experience section. So,
>> Troubleshoot and repair hardware/software.
>> Performed all tasks listed in the Skills Summary section.
2. Pad the experience section, not technical skills. Add a couple more lines each in all your roles.
3. I'd rather say, Desktop/Network Support Technician/Engineer rather than a specialist, HR goons might think this guy is after advanced roles.
4. Take off the References available upon request line, if they need references they'll ask for it.

Most of the relevent suggestions have already been made. You've got the skills to get noticed, you just need to put them out there in a way that will get noticed.

If you are going to use the graphics I would put them in the footer area. Size them so they are all equal.
