@darrel Thanks for posting yours.

I guess I will make mine more brief.

If you have gone through multiple generations of upgrades, say, Windows 2003 to 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 to 2016 for AD domain controllers, how would you state something like that?
I would keep it short and concise. It depends where you are putting it, I suppose. But something in skills like...
"Experience with multiple AD upgrades over a number of generations."
And elsewhere "Windows Experience: 2003 - 2016"
I doubt that anyone is going to be overly concerned with exactly which combinations of AD upgrades you have done, rather just that you have done it multiple times over multiple versions.

That is what most people agree on, more brief over less brief.

I'm against the ML general consensus here. At least in Canada, I believe when employers say resume, they mean more like a CV. I've been through resume writing instruction once in secondary school, and twice in post secondary school. Never was taught to make it one page. Before I got my current job, I watched a resume writing course and it said to not worry about limiting it to one page.

It's not about brief or lengthly, but anticipate the questions that the employer is asking when looking at your resume and clearly and concisely answer them.
Don't put in stuff they're not going to care about. But make sure you put in enough for them to be able to think you might be a good fit.
