Anonymous Resume Review

I am not a big fan of online resume builders, but this person might want to try that just to get to a point where the resume is readable. Then we can work on the resume from there. At this point it needs to burned to the ground.

The formatting doesn't even match throughout the resume. It seems like they did one section at a time with a completely different thought process on each section.

And maybe it's just my PDF reader but this is aligned strangely. I'd remove the Office software. You also misspelled internet.
I'd basically remove it all, it's not stuff you highlight knowing. XenServer and Hyper-V are the only real IT skills on this list and they are shoved into a single line together!

get it down to one page by removing stuff like "static IP addresses"
If you can setup a VPN, you probably know your way around static/DHCP IP addresses.There is a lot of stuff like that on there... like every network share and user account made is listed. It makes it look like that's all that was ever done.

I am trying to be nice here, but Word is definitely not one of their strengths.
-
This should not be over one page in length, the content does not support it.
-
Seriously though, start over. Then resubmit it for feedback. I'd take a hard look at some resumes online and get a good idea of proper formatting. Then come back here and submit it again for feedback.
It is hard to help with the formatting is so bad.

Here is my resume. It's not perfect by any means, but you can take a look at the formatting and copy it. I have no problem with it.

Lines like this are totally filler. never state things like this:
Trouble shooting, diagnosed, installed, upgraded, configured, and repaired computer systems and network system components in a timely and cost effective manner.
-
here is an updated copy that he/she is working on...
-
Associate Degree is not a thing. AS, AA, AAS or similar. don't make up degree titles on a resume.
-
remove References upon request
-
As stated,.. to long. One OR two pages at max. Manage your white space.
-
Here is a starting point that I made.... no rewordings yet, just trimming the fat and fixing formatting...
-
That's a good start. Now I can get an idea of the complexity of the environments they have been in and the technologies that they have worked with.
-
Another one from him/her...

Another one...

Does he/she have any certs or formal training? It would be nice to make a full page resume.

Idk, if it were me I would take out the Gentoo part and just have a Linux domain, unless every system was Gentoo. I just can't believe someone was running that in a business setting.
