      I'd remove Shit Hole, WY. Not good form

      😛

      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

          No, I just mean that Wyoming and Shit Hole were redundant 😉

            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.

                          Remove the line about the security certs that is immediately preceding the certs themselves. That's redundant making it very much look like filler.

                            Best Buy is so short, I'm not sure that I'd keep it. But it does add an earlier date. Toss up.

                              My thoughts here were to do a quick count for someone that is maybe just glancing at my resume really quickly. I guess I could say 11 IT Certifications in the title.

                                I wanted to make sure I support my claim of 12 years of experience here. I am trying to summarize my career to someone that may look at my resume for only 5-10 seconds.

                                  You could. Seems a bit much as it is very visibly 11.
