On the hand, all resumes have it, so maybe it's necessary!
Mine does not. I always leave that stuff out.

The formatting is screwing up anytime I try to move anything around. I might have to redesign this from scratch.
P.S. Is it more professional to include your resume as a DOCX or PDF? The majority of people seem to use DOCX, but I feel like a PDF is better since nearly anyone can read them.

PDF. It doesn't require any special software and is a recognized format.

I almost got rid of Geek Squad and shortened up the cert section, but it's gonna be 2 pages no matter what so I decided to keep it. I might edit some other things tomorrow.

Take out GS and do the double column trick with the certs and you might be down to one page.
-
And don't forget to take out the References line.

It's looking good. I'd space it out a bit and increase the size of the margins rather than shrinking it to one page as I'm finding it a little crowded. It's a great resume that deserves two pages
I'd also list certifications in reverse chronological order. You got an MCSA in Office365 in 2014 which is awesome, but the first thing I read is that you got a MOS in Word 2000 which is, well, less awesome. Put the best stuff first.

Good idea @Carnival-Boy

If you have to go over one page, definitely work to keep the text tight but do as CB says and spread it out. Make it as short as possible, then expand to fill pages with good white spacing.
