      @WrCombs the first steps here are...

      1. Get this paired down to only what is meaningful.
      2. Fix all typos, make it clean.
      3. Identify your gaps.
      4. Go practice and learn skills to fill the gaps.
      5. Profit

      Yeah definitely points 3 and 4 are huge. You need to understand Office 365, Exchange Online and some other cloud services. Not to mention Linux is completely missing.

        Part of the process here is making the resume "too small" without any filler. Then instead of filler, actually fill in the gaps with real experience. This is the process that I did. I let the resume drive my learning and because I focused on what would make my resume look good, it looked great.

          It's a great example, but IRJ isn't his daddy and checking up on his actual work experience and skills.

            You should also be staring at your resume all of the time. Being caught with a typo or formatting issue or something shouldn't happen. Your resume is one of the most important things in your life, you need to be treating it like it is super important. Typos suggest that you aren't paying attention to it and employers pick up on that instantly.

                      It would be more easier for others see to your resume and its changes if it was available via OneDrive, Google Drive, etc...

                            One very important thing I missed was bragging about PCI Compliance since you deal with it. I saw it on your company's website

                                          Depends entirely on the position, some positions you wouldn't submit a cover letter at all.
