Why does it say Network Technician at the top? Is that the job you are applying for?
I would remove that.
Many would recommend bullet points filled with buzzwords over paragraphs. No one is likely to read the paragraphs you wrote
I usually put certs at the top too.
Good luck with your hunt!

Yes that is the position I am applying for. As far as the format goes I based it off of another popular resume used on this site as an example all the time. Maybe I need to change that part though I can always add more bullets.

You could add a bit more technical detail to include up to 802.11ac, etc. Unless of course your position still includes a great deal of G2 cell connectivity and .11 b/g/n, etc. Then it would be best to simply skip it.

Always list your most advanced skill on a resume and be specific as to what that skill is and what it entails. You want to promote yourself as being a bleeding edge without making an idiot of yourself, of course but you get the idea. What's pertinent? What's hot in your field. Its IT now not Data Processing. Looking forward is what we do for a career.

Awesome! I will be a little more specific with the summary on those. It is a little hard to specify to much because I am an IT generalist and do a little bit of everything.

Do I need a cover letter as well?
