Solved Fixing My Resume

No one cares about your CompTIA and putting in thrice is beyond obnoxious. Don't put it at all. The time of your certs is not very important either. Tell someone if they ask. And repeating CompTIA three times is a bit over the top.
And two whole lines for some courses at OCC is too much. And pointing out that it is a community college is not necessary, especially when it is part of SUNY.

Maybe condense to:
Implemented WordPress on LAMP server on ESXi.
Short and sweet. You don't mention WP or LAMP versions, why ESXi version?
True. And okay, I like it.
The word server might still be too much.

Ok, the suggested changes have been made so far. Next?

You use a lot of weird /. Stop that

With all of that trimming, you should be almost exactly at one page. It shows why people say that it should be short and why things look like filler. You had the same things listed twice, lots of extra words, etc.

There we go, with the few little word rearrangements that I did, we had to drop NOTHING and it fits in a single page. You had an entire page of just filler there.

Ok, with Scott's help, we got it down to one page!

Size looks good. Look at some of the small edits that I made in some of those posts. You still want to trim back pointless words and stuff.
