Re: IT Resume Help...

To be honest, and this is just my personal view, I would say you need to expand on the Technical Skills. It's a bit vague, and TBH, some employers may not read past that, even though the rest of the CV is very well written.

For OS skills, I would expand on XP, Unix, and IBM Mainframe, and just add Legacy system experience, or something similar to the end. Just a line will do for each, such as previous related projects, deployment, configuration, something that backs up your skills on each.

I would just say MS Office, instead of listing each, that looks like your trying to pad it out slightly, and expand on Peoplesoft, Oracle, Siebel.

For programming, there is a lot of possible experience to be gained in those examples, so you need to expand on them, and add what skill you feel you have in each, maybe use intermediate, or skilled, or some appreciation of what you know. If you have any programs, or websites you have used, add the address, or include a disk, show it off in other words.

I would also move your education under your email address. Thats possibly your biggest selling point, so get it out in the open straight away. Maybe take some wording from your course diary to add some text.

I would display this as a two page CV, education, and skills on one page, employment on the back, maybe your current employment on the front page, if you need to fill up the room.

If I sort my CV, will post.

Re: IT Resume Help...

Forgot to mention, you should a add a short Bio. Tell them about yourself, your strenghts, your goals, what you enjoy, maybe add a few hobbies. It's much harder to overlook someone who sounds like a really nice person.
