So Far on the new Write up:

I might specify a chosen hypervisor technology that you use and are comfortable with. It's is a bit weird, I agree.

Right. If you were a VMWare admin or AWS admin that would be relevant
-
@WrCombs If you are saying Windows Workstation, don't list Server 2019, list your server proficiency as another bullet point.

It's Oracle not Orace
-
Isn't the software Bombgar and not Bomgar, which according to their website they just changed to BeyondTrust.

@WrCombs yeah I was literally looking it up as I responded.
It might be worth putting it's new name there instead of the old one.

I know this is annoying getting all this feedback, but here a few things that jump out at me
- Under Skills - rearrange them to be in order of importance to you in finding the next job
- Drop Virtualbox , this is only something you would use on a personal level never really on a business / server level
- Make Windows Server bullet point. If you want to be Windows Server admin then highlight that and Active Directory as your top skills. I would honestly learn Office 365 so you can add that on there as well. It certainly wouldnt hurt to learn Azure either if you want out of the desktop role
- Leave Helpdesk but move it towards the bottom. I would change Desktop Support to systems support (which could be desktops and servers and even if you arent doing servers, desktops are still systems
) - Talk about network configuration with ubiquiti and Unifi equipment. You dont have to list specific products. You can say something like designed networks using Ubuquit and Unifi equipment
Thats just my critique for first section more to come

I am going to take a swing at rewriting the whole thing for you
stand by

Could you send me in text format @WrCombs ?
-
@IRJ you don't have OCR technology?

@WrCombs I literally just asked Dash for this. Had no idea that there was a thread.
Just Created it.
Yeah, but you did it like 15 minutes before I asked

@WrCombs the first steps here are...
- Get this paired down to only what is meaningful.
- Fix all typos, make it clean.
- Identify your gaps.
- Go practice and learn skills to fill the gaps.
- Profit

Yeah definitely points 3 and 4 are huge. You need to understand Office 365, Exchange Online and some other cloud services. Not to mention Linux is completely missing.
-
Part of the process here is making the resume "too small" without any filler. Then instead of filler, actually fill in the gaps with real experience. This is the process that I did. I let the resume drive my learning and because I focused on what would make my resume look good, it looked great.

It's a great example, but IRJ isn't his daddy and checking up on his actual work experience and skills.
