Also remember to tailor the resume for the exact job that you are applying for, in particular matching the key words in the job posting. Also in the experience field try to mention a specfic project such as a migration from xp to Windows 7. Hope that helps.

Ill have to think about a specific project as most of my course work in college was business or program oriented. All of my troubleshooting has been mostly self taught building multiple computers for myself and others.

yzT Member Posts: 365 ■■■□□□□□□□You call yourself "recognized...", but who say so? You don't have any job where you demonstrated such skill. I know what you mean, though, because I'm in the same boat.
Also I see two of the most common cliches: work well individual and in group and quick learner. Do you think someone will say otherwise?
And finally, you don't need to list every hardware component.
That's just my opinion.
