Help With Resume

So wife showed my resume to her boss and she suggests I add this:
Results driven professional offering a progressive, 17 year career in information technology.
Expertly manage technical support operations and troubleshooting issues to identify root causes and prevent recurrence.
Process improvement champion researching ways to strengthen security, enhance efficiency, and control costs.I want to sell myself but don't want to sound over confident. Thoughts?

Sounds like filler to me. When I see that stuff I think "this guy copied stuff from a college class where the professor has no idea how resumes work - this is obvious boilerplate". I know lots of people are told to put this stuff on, but I use this as an example of why collleges aren't useful for professionals.

I agree with @scottalanmiller . It is fluff, but having the 17+ years experience statement on top of the resume helps. I do something similiar with my resume. All the other stuff is just fluff though. @alex-olynyk let me know if you would like to see my resume via pm.

You can have that and keep it very lean. Something like...
17 year IT Pro focused on scalable web hosting and SQL Server databases.

That is how mine is setup. One small sentence.

I'm okay with that. Just enough to be like "this is who I am." Definitely don't say "what you are looking for" though, that's the worst.

The main purpose is to calculate the years so whoever is reviewing the resume doesn't have to do the math.

Yeah, that makes sense.

HIPPA compliant? Put it in if you are.

How is a person HIPAA compliant?

If you want to focus on experience, you can try some tools like http://vizualize.me/grey and integrate some of the graphics to your resume. As you can see, I've done this and included social links, too. All of the recruiters and HR people want to see that since it saves them the effort of tracking your social/facebook profiles down.

I have my FB profile locked down fairly well, I could lock it down even more I suppose. I really don't think my private time is really any of their business.
Do you maintain specific things for them to find?

Excuse me, English is my third language.
I meant to say whatever status he would be after taking HIPAA test, assuming OP took a HIPAA test at Rose Radiology. -

I've worked in HIPAA since the day it was introduced and I've never heard of a "HIPAA test". That's new to me.

Yes. I ABSOLUTELY don't use facebook and so my profiles are well-maintained. I don't publish anything that's easily searched, though I'm sure some savvy Google searching could locate non-professional stuff if they wanted to. Overall, though, my LinkedIn is the only thing people look at from a hiring perspective.

I'm quite a bit more findable than you, but not direct postings...

LOL - Yeah I'd definitely like to give it a go... assuming my job would let me off for the time.

did you watch the first episode? It was crazy some of the things those people did - kept phones? left behind a written plan (ok the under page) for their entire time frame - really? It just seems like the show was setup to show people failing - i.e. director telling them how to behave.
Going to ground for 30 days, living off scraps, begging, etc.. pretty easy if you ask me. Will I be cold and hungry at the end - yeah probably, but avoiding the cops.. really not that hard for a game show.
The hardest part to hide would be the camera crew following you.
