      This should not be over one page in length, the content does not support it.

        Seriously though, start over. Then resubmit it for feedback. I'd take a hard look at some resumes online and get a good idea of proper formatting. Then come back here and submit it again for feedback.

        It is hard to help with the formatting is so bad.

          Here is my resume. It's not perfect by any means, but you can take a look at the formatting and copy it. I have no problem with it.

            Lines like this are totally filler. never state things like this:

            Trouble shooting, diagnosed, installed, upgraded, configured, and repaired computer systems and network system components in a timely and cost effective manner.

                Associate Degree is not a thing. AS, AA, AAS or similar. don't make up degree titles on a resume.

                    As stated,.. to long. One OR two pages at max. Manage your white space.

                      Here is a starting point that I made.... no rewordings yet, just trimming the fat and fixing formatting...

                        That's a good start. Now I can get an idea of the complexity of the environments they have been in and the technologies that they have worked with.

                                Does he/she have any certs or formal training? It would be nice to make a full page resume.

                                  Idk, if it were me I would take out the Gentoo part and just have a Linux domain, unless every system was Gentoo. I just can't believe someone was running that in a business setting.

                                      Just some goofy little things I've noticed. Not all lines have a period at the end. They should probably be uniform.

                                      It says 120pc, singular but the other devices are plural. Same with 160pc.

                                      Under Network Administrator Junior, it should probably be Windows Server 2003, not Windows 2003 server.

                                      The line starting with "Provide" should be Provided technical support, since the previous lines were past tense. And the "for with" is confusing. That line also has an extra space at the beginning.

                                        Much better, I know see a an IT professional with 13 years experience.

                                        I know @scottalanmiller thought this line was unnecessary, but I think it is a good idea to sum up your experience really quick on the first line so the employer knows right off the bat you have 13 years experience

                                          Instead of doing 160 pc (which for some reason I read as pieces) it may be worthwhile to say clients or something similar.

                                            How about workstations?
