        missing punctuation
        and ditch the crossed out stuff - unless someone like scott said to include it.
        The last line also seems awkward on a resume - at least to me.

            Drop High School section. Nobody cares about that. Its assumed if no education is listed you have a HS diploma

                I would really rework your experience section. No one really cares for paragraphs on a resume. So for the current role

                Support Techician
                RDS
                April 2018 to Present

                Responsibilities include; Remote System Administration, including hardware problem resolution with Point of Sales equipment including but not limited to sales terminals and printers.

                Additional responsibilities include, back-end data administration and staff training on sales equipment.

                Technologies used:
                SSH, RDP etc etc

                  The goal is to get a better paying job. No one cares about the aspirations, education is great but certifications can show that you can learn. (I know you're working on those).

                    yeah, I was thinking the same - the goal should be near the top of the resume - and be specific for each job you're applying for... when possible.

                      Part Time Clerk

                      This section isn't relevant to what you're applying for, I would almost drop the entire section and simply replace it with something along the lines of "Prior work experience is not in my target field. Will answer questions if requested about it"

                        This is a good point.

                        You're also young enough that only having the single job being listed likely isn't going to be an issue.

                          I'm not familiar with US CVs, but I'm missing things:

                          • What are you good at regarding AD? GPOs? Audits? Usermanagement? Scripting? Tell 'em whatever you know.
                          • Ever fixed a breaking issue? Something that could harm your employers business?
                          • "Input menu data" ... no. "Normalized large amounts of data for POS systems"
                          • "Built a home lab network using Ubiquiti Networks PRODUCT A, PRODUCT B, ... to learn XYZ (hell, UBNT is such a good system. Why did you choose them? Price, features, ...)"

                          Hope that helps.

                                Remember: Build your resume for the job you want, not the one you have.

                                    You could easily add a technologies proficiency area onto your resume.

                                    Proficient with these tools:

                                    (whatever software tools you use, Vi, SSH, Putty, Windows Server, Linux Server, Hyper-V) etc

                                      Remember his job has no actual servers in it, no Linux, and no real developement. Entering data into a system to generate a menu hardly seems like a dev thing.

                                        So he does system support

                                        I am sure he has touched windows server before on the job

                                        I am sure he has worked with backups, even if its just using a SaaS solution

                                        Also if he is using VPN to connect to remote sights then he is managing the connection in a sense 😉

                                          Remember, he's 23. No one expects him to be like Tim Berners-Lee.

                                            Not very likely - the sell windows 10 as a server solution (likely illegally)

                                            I am sure he has worked with backups, even if its just using a SaaS solution

                                            I suppose it's possible - but again, it would be inside of the POS app, not likely outside it

                                            Also if he is using VPN to connect to remote sights then he is managing the connection in a sense 😉

                                            That's a stretch, and you know it 😛
