Throwing my resume out for critique

I need to get rid/change my objective but wondering how others feel about it. Appreciate any advice.

edit: formatting under first job got butchered a little when changing info. Job Should be aligned left and location aligned right.

    Objective can go. I'd suggest finding a way to get it all on 1 page. Having a 2nd page that's only 1/3rd full looks bad. Also the personal qualities are just fluff and don't really show anything. The bullet points switch between past and present tense. There's also a lot of bullets, at first glance it looks like a wall of text and I didn't really want to read it all. Adding a skills section might be a good idea. Also change Comptia to CompTIA.

    Resumes are professional documents, so save your personality for the interview. ;)

    Alrighty here.

    First off, get rid of the objective. People that see your resume already know your looking for a job!

    Make it a summary and remove the personal qualities and incorporate that into your summary in about 2-3 sentances, blending your personal and technical skills together

    Next underneath the summary put your education and certs, I would move the Comptia certs to the bottom of the list and move the Microsoft ones to the top.

    Your job experience section is pretty decent. I wouldnt change that section around much.

    Other than that the overall format/temlate that you used looks sort of plain.

    Make those changes and you should be good!
