Hoping for a Resume Critique

I've recently been working on my resume, trying to fine tune it as I want to start applying for some more Technical Support Specialist/Help Desk roles. I would appreciate it if anyone would let me know what especially needs changing or if it needs a total overhaul.

Thanks in advance.

Seems like a pretty decent resume.

My only question is- your current role seems to be what you described you are applying for. And you have only been there for 3 months. Be prepared to answer questions about switching to another company in a lateral position after that short of time.

Thanks for the critique.

It's a contract job, an open contract job, but I just want to prepare for the worst in case the contract ends abruptly. Also I just want to keep my resume up to date.

I would probably take off the "certified" behind "A+" but that could just be personal preference. Other than that, it looks very good. Could you take a look at mine: http://www.techexams.net/forums/jobs-degrees/80042-resume-critique-thank-you-advance.html
