      I usually listened to some slow jams and love ballads before an interview.

            yeah - the day I was sick - then when I came back, I was pulled in much lower to the thread and missed the resume itself.

              fair enough, that happens to the best of us.

                I'm getting ready to apply to a new company with a much better position.

                Here is my resume prior to sending this out to them .

                a3502106-c773-4fd0-9019-d89c52f8e2cd-image.png
                could you read through it and tell me what you think before I send this in to the hiring manager?

                  Your resume should be tailored to that specific job. Can't tell much without seeing the ad and job description. Who knows what the position you're going to apply for is and if it's a good match for the skills and experience you list.
                  You should begin with fixing typos first though..

                      personal labs isn't a proper noun, I wouldn't capitalize it unless you are referring to a product called "Personal Labs".

                        This is the Job I'm currently looking to apply to.

                        https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/2183817413

                        however, I'm sending my resume to multiple consulting firms / IT companies in the Local area with a message along the lines of

                        I'm looking for a place in IT,  I've heard a lot about your company, Please review my resume and if you happen to have a position available in the future, please reach out to me 
                        

                        Obviously it'll be tailored ot the company, and wont be that vague.

                            I dislike using the phrase "personal lab" on the resume. It's great to test things in a lab and talk about that during the interview, but on your resume you should just list it as experience. Then if they ask about it in interviews you can tell them how you did it in your lab.

                            I also feel like it's scatter brained, and the order makes no sense. Put what you care to show off to your new job first on that list. If you put network devices as your first point, they are going to assume (rightly so) that it's your strongest topic. So you better know it inside and out.

                                Do you really want to highlight hardware installation as your main qualification?

                                        @WrCombs just a nagging question by why doesn't your current employer have a redirect from http://rdspos.com to https://rdspos.com

                                        Seems insane to leave the unsecured connection there.

                                          Skills used I don't think is accurate. It might make more sense to say "Systems used" or "Operating Systems Supported"
