Depending upon how important your education is, I would recommend putting that above your Experience. Although, I am unfamiliar with your major. Also, I would probably ditch mentioning high school gpa on there. How is your current college GPA?

non existant?

On a related note....how are certs typically listed? I know things like CCNA (should have this by December) and MCSE are suffixes for your name but what about things like Net+

Do you just throw Net+ in your skills section or do you but N+ following your name like the others?

 

[SpunkyJones]

Too skimpy, be more specific about the type of hardware and O/S's that you support. More details.

Would be nice if you can put more specific accomplishments in your experience. For example, "Designed, implemented and maintain a network of more than 40 computer systems of various platforms such as Microsoft, Linux, Mac OS and Sun Microsystems. Successfully reduced network down time from 10% to 5%"

Also, put in whatever educational background that would help.

Design and maintain desktop and server systems. Ensure network security on a desktop and server level.

This is the sentence the bothered me. Saying that you "designed" desktop and server systems sounds kind of sketchy and ambiguous. I realize you're probably not claiming to have designed the hardware, but there's gotta be a way to word that better.

Maybe just "Build" instead of "Design"?
