How did you do the format for your personal info section? I really like the format. Makes it look much cleaner. What do others think before I change mine like this guy did?

Hate to ask you this but do you mind posting a pdf version of this document please? I'm getting some weird-ass encoder errors when I open your file. I have Word 2003 running on my work computer.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that this resume must be flawless as I haven't had anyone say anything bad or give me some pointers.

Anybody have any tips or suggestions?

Not a bad resume, I have some suggestions however:

1. See how the certs are kind of tucked away to the side. You should highlight them a little, maybe bring them in with the education section, and call the section Education/Certifications. You do want the HR person to ensure they notice the certs.

2. Redo the Summary a little, see how you go "Analyst with 3 years experience of banking software". What were you doing the software, developing, administering or supporting? You'd better off saying "IT Professional with 3 years of software support experience". Just sounds better I guess, at the very least.

3. Bullet point your experience, easier to read IMO. In your Merchandiser role, surely in 2+ years you'd have done more than performing product stocking. Elaborate a little.

Hope this helps!

Did you revise your resume? If so, can you post it? I like the style and you didn't get much feedback.
