The last line also seems awkward on a resume - at least to me.
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 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

@WrCombs what remote connection tools do you use regularly?

@WrCombs I literally just asked Dash for this. Had no idea that there was a thread.
