Resume Review Please!

So a year ago I left a really good Jr. SysAdmin job to move to another city 3 hours away because the girlfriend got a job here. Unfortunately for me, the IT job market here is pretty bleak. I got a job doing helpdesk soon after I moved here but left it after 6 months for reasons that aren't worth going into right now. Since then, I've applied to a handful of jobs here and there but haven't had any real bites so I'm hoping you guys could critique my resume see if there's anything I should change/fix/add. Any input is much appreciated!

You could start by not using "Responsible" so much in it.

Haha, yeah I guess that's true.

Any other things I should change? I was wondering if I should change my "Summary" section to show a list of all the different technology products (Windows XP/7, OSX, AD, Exchange, Office 2007/2010, VMware, Clonezilla, WDS etc.) I have experience working with instead of a short description list like I have now? What do you guys think?

I thought about adding a "Certification" section but since I currently only hold the A+ I figured its not worth it and better off leaving the "Education" section there instead.

move education to the bottom and at the top you should highlight the skills related to the job your applying for, especially since you dont even have your BS degree yet.

and in most cases, experience > education.
