Job Search and Resume Help

---

Hello all and Happy Thanksgiving to those observing the holiday

So I decided this year to really focus on getting into the IT career field. The end goal is a role either in security, network administration or network engineering. I've been searching for entry level help desk type jobs and am open to doing remote work from home work. I am hoping to avoid the phone drone "corporate accounts payable Nina speaking, just a moment" type of job. I have included a link to an image of my resume for review. Any advice as far as additions, removals, formatting changes would be greatly appreciated as well as any other job search advice.

Resume

Hi Mike, I looked at your resume and think you have a very good start. Just a few tips that I keep in mind for my own job searches:

1. HR personnel usually only spend 30 to 45 seconds looking at our resumes before they save or trash it. Therefore, I try to craft my statements to make sure it has the WOW factor to stand out from the pack.
2. Keep your tech skills and soft skills separate.
3. Show them HOW you successfully have worked in diverse teams.
4. Check out useful the ITProTV link. https://www.itpro.tv/job-resources/
5. The "one page" resume is a good rule but even more important is to avoid the pitfall of loading every square millimeter with text. White space in your resume is powerful and more attractive to the HR mindset.

Wish you the best on your journey!

Thank you for your feedback.
