        I'd remove the information about best buy, is it relevant to what you're applying for?

          Agreed... and most times you only need to go back ten years.

          Need to drop A HIPPA Company to the second page

            That may just be Google Docs. I know when I upload to onedrive or Google Docs formatting is weird sometimes.

                    I am not sure that many IT jobs or cities exist in WY 🙂

                      Do you think having the confirmation numbers and dates is necessary for the certs? If I dropped those I could probably make the certs have two columns and possibly get my resume to one page after dropping best buy.

                        I go back till my first job, always. It shows your total time in the industry. Given that some jobs specifically want more than ten years of experience, you certainly don't want to be limiting to that.

                          No, I generally leave those off. No dates either. A cert is a cert.

                            Yeah, it's redundant.

                              So leave out city/state for different jobs? I've had potential employers and recruiters ask me location wise where I've worked before

                                  I've never been there, but I am going to guess that there aren't many IT jobs and probably very few if any large companies based out of WY.

                                    NTG is from Wyoming! (Wyoming, NY.) The one that the state is named after, I believe.

                                          The following recommendations have been made:

                                          • Make certifications two colums and remove dates and certificate ID numbers
                                          • Remove duplicate entry of NMAP Scanning
                                          • Remove Best Buy details. Leave job on resume

                                            P.S. Google drive is not showing two columns for some reason. Even though Word is correctly displaying the changes.
