    I've been told many times on this thread that it's not a good look to include certs you don't currently have on your resume.

    You can bring it up during the interview. Or if you really, really need to, include that you're currently working on the A+ on the cover letter. But keep it off the resume until you actually pass.
    Goals for 2018:
    Certs: RHCSA, LFCS: Ubuntu, CNCF CKA, CNCF CKAD | AWS Certified DevOps Engineer, AWS Solutions Architect Pro, AWS Certified Security Specialist, GCP Professional Cloud Architect
    Learn: Terraform, Kubernetes, Prometheus & Golang | Improve: Docker, Python Programming
    To-do | In Progress | Completed

    I feel like space is not used efficiently...your resume in this case should be one page.
    The last sentence of the summary is a subordinate clause.
    The relevant soft skills from the Publix job are good but you have more information listed there than you do with the actual IT jobs--I see very little in the professional experience that reinforces the summary and technical skills section. Everything should tie in together.

    Some of the skills were mostly learned in school doing projects. Not sure how to incorporate that into my resume. Should I take out the programming stuff? I am really not looking to do any more programing.

    The recruiter i saw on Friday for a quick meet and greet told me to list anything i would have as in progress from my WGU cert track to show that while i dont have it now, its part of my educational program beyond just getting the 4 year degree.

    Ok I will make a few more adjustments and try to get it to one page. So whats the verdict on the certification listing if not yet finish?

    "Daily use of POS system" ..lol I'd spell that out man, whatever it stands for ..looks like piece of **** system.

    Hmm I will just take it out. It just means point of sales. Was thinking I could add a school experience section and list projects I worked on. Would that be good to put on there.

    Different strokes for different folks. I have my A+ listed as in progress and I've gotten a few calls back.

    I think most people understand even without the contextual hint of a supermarket that it means "Point of Sale" icon_rolleyes.gif
