    Personally, rather than bullet point summary at the start, i would put some of that info into a paragraph, summarising your experience and the direction you would like to take with your career, but also a couple of points about you as a person (hard working, fast learner, people skills etc,) that general sort of thing. Depending on the specific job you are applying for with that CV, i would make sure the role i am applying for fited with what i am sayin in the "direction of carreer" part.

    I agree with Danielno8 about the bullet points and would say "Demonstrated" and not Showed.

    yes George it's getting there.

    It's late, a cursory glance and i see this..

    you use good twice. that's not good :)

    First, *good*, dont under sell yourself. You have an excellent understanding of Microsoft operating system*s* as well as a sound grasp of Linux.

    You are striving to stay ahead of the pack as these technologies progress into the future.

    Couldn't help but noticing you worked in Cyprus, are you Cypriot? I used to live in Cyprus in the 90's

    Would you like my usual pedantic grammar-police CV response, or do you want me to bugger off? :oops: :biggrin
