Resume Review

Looking for some feedback for my current resume.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/15J0eWBo8jL_fZ-rcvZ_-Udik5FsejLMOzTnR8zqhDEI/
Thanks to all that take part. Much appreciated.

Not for the resume per se for those of us reading it, what is your desired goals with the resume?
-
First really big thing.... condense to one page. You are nearly there with this now and with the right font alone you could do it. Make sure that if you don't have a totally solid two pages, that you have a rocking one page. In this case, condense down to one.
-
Combine Linux and UNIX into one line, no reason to have that extra space. Also VERY carefully don't make up terms. There is no Ubuntu 14. There is 14.04 and 14.10. Use the real name, not a "kinda like this" name.
Windows: If you are going to do a range, do oldest to newest. So 2003 - 2012 R2.
-
This feels weird. You report to everyone? Is there no management structure? Is the CEO a crazy micromanager? Pick a manager and stick to it, and do you even want to mention to whom you report? Why? You are the sole IT person, we can figure out the rest. There is no IT management, that's normal, doesn't need space on your CV. Condense this, a lot...
Sole IT staff member for two site manufacturing facility.
Done, says all the same stuff without filler and without admitting that the company has no idea who is managing what.
-
Resume is one page, just google docs blows out the formatting.
Currently i would like to transition completely to a sys admin type role for a larger company. I enjoy dealing with infrastructure and systems, not so much helpdesk/end user support.
Something that i find difficult to to express is that i am a self starter and a problem solver, there is no one here telling me how to fix and improve anything. The IT infrastructure here went from going down several times a week(at times multiple times a day) to only needing to go down for maintenance. This is for a company that has employees globally, 24hr/5d so any unplanned downtime costs money.
-
I have made the recommended changes.
-
Too many bullet points for one job IMO. You got lost reading it. The formatting is somewhat bland and the text is too small.
-
I think the top of each of these should be a one line job description. I never like seeing bullet points without a header. What are they a list of and why, why would I read a list not knowing what the job was?
First bullet: Make that something like a description...
Technician providing on-site and remote small/medium business support.
NY and LI makes no sense as LI is in NY. It sounds weird.
-
I have some suggestions, but you need to enable copy and paste. I am not retyping everything out.
-
@IRJ Made a editable one here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tpYqo6AmlwPesHFjTyko0uTPB0FurqtNY5Mk9FYkN8I/edit
-
@scottalanmiller That sounds good, so for $company1 should i put "Sole IT staff member for two site manufacturing facility." as the header?
Now that you mention it listing NY and LI does sound silly.

Thanks I dont need to edit. I just wanted to copy and and paste.
-
@IRJ Does it work for you now?
-
Tighten this up. More like...
- Admin for AD and GPO on Windows Server 2003 - 2012 R2 and CentOS mixed domain with ~270 workstations.
See if you can make that one line. Don't sell DNS and DHCP with AD and GPO. Different levels of complexity, don't try to brag about DHCP, it belittles the good stuff.
-
About a word too long to be a one liner. I will work on it.
Makes sense regarding DHCP and DNS.
Thinking about it, its incorrect for me to use GPO. I should be using GP. I made that change.
Any advantages/disadvantages to using/not using acronyms. ie.. AD vs Active Directory?

Yes, GP is better.
AD is short and very well known. I think that it is fine.
-
Sounds good.
Have a question regarding fonts, any in particular nicer on the eyes? I tend to use times new roman but wonder if there is something better.
-
Times New Roman and Georgia are pretty good.
-
Sounds good, I will probably stick to Times New Roman then. Size 12 is common correct?
Anyone else with any recommendations?
