I'm a CCNA, so now what...? Need some resume help

Ok guys, I obtained my CCNA last week, and have found it difficult to even secure a call from an agent with regards to any suitable roles. I would say that I've been sending at least 20 applications a day since I passed.
The roles that I have been applying for are mostly junior network/network engineer roles. Heck I even inquired from the IT institute where I studied if I could work voluntarily to gain some work experience but no reply from them either!
Now dont get me wrong, I wasnt expecting to walk into a Networking role straight after passing, but I did atleast expect some calls from agencies/employers. Got me thinking, maybe my resume needs some work. So I made some tweaks and set up 2 main resumes i would use to apply.
If any guys that have trodden my path can shed any light in terms of how they got their breakthrough networking role and how they worded their CV I'd really appreciate it!
PS:I'm from the UK. name and personal info omitted
Thanks!

I'm going to build a master review resume thread that will hopefully get sticked later today. Seems like there are alot of these threads and consolidating them should make everyone happier.

That would be nice, I am glad to help any way I can but be easier if we had one place to review over and over
However, I didn't read it. I don't know how CVs are in the UK - I've heard they're pretty diff from US resumes. Try to work on your current copy and do a google search for sample UK CVs.

Thanks for all the positive feedback, I've taken what you've all said on board and am now in the process of making the necessary adjustments.
Thanks once again!
- remove references
- margins are horrible
- imo, work summaries are far too long, give a brief summary, not a book
- under employment you list ccna studies, were you employed to study for the ccna?
- everything looks to be bold, only bold items such as name and date of employment
- make a certifications section
- your summary is too generic as many have said using words such as motivated, enthusiastic, etc are overused, instead give a brief summary of your experience as an introduction rather then listing bullets.
- font is too large imo
- FAR TOO MANY BULLETS
I would not expect a certification to open doors, continue working on your certs and bettering yourself.
Then I looked at your resume and it made sense.
Its like a giant summary. Ive yet to see a worse resume than that. At first I was thought you were just posting experience for us to read.
Redo the entire thing based off a template and you'll get calls.
Here is a link that provides an example of a proper, bullet format resume.

Also, my suggestion is to tailor your previous work experience on the position you are seeking. For example, when I was seeking a networking position, I focused on my tasks and responsibilities on actual network (e.g. ran cable, configured switches and routers). Sometimes, just having the cert will not get you in the door but some actual hands-on experience.
Good luck mate.
