        Short and sweet. You don't mention WP or LAMP versions, why ESXi version?

        True. And okay, I like it.

              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.

                The word server might still be too much.

                                  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.
