There's an opening for a Systems Engineer I am applying for. Would you mind looking at my resume and give me some feedback? I'm not all hot about the format, but I don't know what else to do. Do I go too far back in my job history? Should I drop all that AF stuff?
Anyway, the ad for the job says highly developed knowledge and understanding of networking, server and pc operating systems including Cicso and Microsoft - excellent organizational, administrative and time management skills with special attention to details.
Tell me what my resume says that conveys the above and what is missing. Thanks
