          Size 12 across the board.

            That font is too big looking at it and the margins too small. No white space for the eye. Stick to standard good design principles when possible.

            Take it down to 11 if necessary. And look at Cambria.

                Looks way better already. Now to just trim enough to get it to fit.

                  I selected to edit and it seems ot be working. Can you see the change to the top that I just made? A tiny bit of careful editing and removing one incorrect word that you had dropped in there and we trimmed a whole line!

                    Changed "international" to "global" and trimmed another whole line.

                      Ok, specific questions:

                      1. My time at Staples where I did act as a supervisor feels like it's too light as far as the description.
                      2. NTG experience: what to keep, what to drop, what to re-word?

                        Staples would be expected to be very light.

                          Watch for little things like capitalization mistakes (VMware not VMWare) and don't get names wrong (VMware vSphere not VMware Virtual vSphere.)

                            Ok, Scott has done some work on the resume for me. It's been edited and is updated on the OneDrive.

                              Not sure why that was VMWare...I know better...

                                Fix the alignment on the top most section. The carriage return is starting way too far to the right causing there to be unnecessary extra lines.

                                  This line bothers me:

                                  Setup own website running Wordpress on LAMP server as a virtual machine on ESXi 5.1

                                  It's too long and it has too much info and it is too wordy. I don't suggest not mentioning these things, but it is too much in general.

                                    Maybe condense to:

                                    Implemented WordPress on LAMP server on ESXi.

                                    Short and sweet. You don't mention WP or LAMP versions, why ESXi version?

                                        True. And okay, I like it.
