      Brave soul - I'd never post my resume up here.

      LOL.

      Anyway - yes I think your resume could do with some serious culling. The first page is nearly like a cover letter rather than a resume, and I'll bet with a little work you can get your entire resume down to a single page.

      A person who looks at your resume will make a snap decision after 15 seconds, after briefly scanning keywords, and your resume buries your key skills and past experience in the text.

      Take out the red pen and slash it to one page - keep only the most critical bits that define who you are and what you can, and want to do!

      Another tip - you can custom tailor resumes to individual companies based on what you know they are looking for.
