I see grammatical errors. The green wavy line in Word is to indicate possible grammatical errors. Imagine you're a Hiring Manager, and you open up a resume in Word and it's full of green wavy lines, it doesn't help. I think that person overlooking your resume just starts looking for errors, I think this way, cause that's exactly what I just did. (I'm not an English major so take my advice with a grain of salt.)

This part above is clearly 2 different font sizes.

IMO, these are 2 different points, thus deserve their own bullet points.
I think bullet points should be no more than one line, because then it becomes a sentence. (This is highly debatable)

I think you can google and find a different format... I just did a quick search and found this... Help Desk Resume, Help Desk Sample Resume, Help Desk Free Resume, Help Desk Resume Formats and basically, just copy the style of it.

I didn't look through all of them, but I like #3 formatting
