Always, always, always tailor your CV to the position you're applying for.

 

The great thing about programming? like any creative art, you can provide a portfolio

Make some programs, simple ones, complex ones, throw them on a website and list them on the resume
let people see what you can do, hell supply source code if you like so people can see your code and your potential

a Web designer resume will always have a list of websites they worked on, I'd suggest a similar approach

Don't worry about the **** people are giving you for listing the A+ and MCP, a programmer requires decent hardware and OS understanding, depending on the programming they plan on doing of course
and most of the good ones know enough about how it all works to put me to shame

Keep slogging, once it took me 18 months to find a job

 

I'm looking for any job really, i even got an interview for a job welding but i had no experience and from what i gather the other applicants have lots.

 

Cant say about the others, but I'm not saying they are totally useless, Im saying that they arent particularly going to help getting into the first programming job.

The OP's CV declares some (mythical it appears when looking at the cv) aptitude in programming, yet provides nothing to back that up. Looking at his CV, I saw no evidence of doing any programming during his school career.

The point I was trying to make was that he needs to retailor the cv for any of the programming jobs he applies for, and plays up the software development aspect.

When I went looking for my first proper development role, I re-wrote my CV, significantly emphasising the development experience I did have, and spent less time talking about the less relevant stuff.
