Bachelor鈥檚 of Commun|||It's way too long with way too many details. This needs to be short, sweet and to the point. You've got to try and trim this to one page, maybe just over one page. Save some details for the interview. Take your summary of qualifications and condense them into a cover letter to convey your information.





Put your ITT Tech education above the certificate program - college level educations always get listed before certificates. Put them all at the top of the resume. Put no more than 3 bullet points for any of those listings and use only your most important points. Don't list so many jobs, list the 3 most relevant jobs. If you want to capitalize on your other experience, you could bullet point the position name, but I don't think you're going to have enough room for it.





Most resumes get a 10-second scan through by a potential employer. They can't take the time to read every little detail. It's a narrow down process... with a stack of 30 resumes, they're going to scan them, and hold onto maybe 5 and then read those in depth.
