      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'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?

                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"

                                Bullet points should never end in a period mark. Example below


                                Proficiency with operating systems listed below

                                • Windows Server 2016, 2012 (R2), 2008
                                • Windows 10, 8.1, 8 and 7
                                • Mac OSX High Sierra

                                  Also bullet points should be concise, not full sentences. See the above example. Use the section descriptor to explain the bullet list if you must.

                                      Bullets should be strong statements, not just list OS versions

                                        Good for you, you've never seen a bullet point list. If you're writing complete sentences as bullet points you're doing something wrong.

                                          Where is your evidence to back up your claim that bullet points should never be full sentences or longer sentence fragments and should never end with a period? I have found lots that say otherwise, however.

                                            Show me the proof you have that bulleted listed should exclusively be sentences.
