Can’t really do much with a resume without seeing it in its own WP where we can see your spacing, indents, etc. As it is on this screen, it doesn’t look legible.
I can tell you, though a quick fix. You need to keep your tenses the same. You san on the one hand “DirectED and managED,” then immediately go on to say “Consult.”
General rule here is for the job you’re currently doing, use present tense as “Direct and manage.” You’re still doing it, so present tense makes sense. On down in your resume when you describe your duties in earlier jobs, use the past tense.
You are also inconsistent with your capitilization. Your first bullet correctly has caps, “Plan, organize…” Then your second bullet you go to lowercase. “evaluate.” Make all these caps, including your bullets below, “research…” “install…”
Even though some “experts” will disagree, it’s still best, unless your older and have lots of years of experience, to have one page resume. I think you have too much detail on this one job, it’s clear you’re going way over one page. Remember if somebody looks at your resume, thinks it’s not easy to read, they won’t, you didn’t get a chance even if you are wonderful. Keep it one page, get some white space on it, make it attractive. If you’re running an IT shop it will be expected that you know how to make Word or WordPerfect very attractive.
I have a real readability problem with this, but as I said, without seeing it in the form your Word or whatever will give it, it’s hard to evaluate.
Good luck with your job search.
