ReferencesVideo Tek IT consultant – Jim Lin - 97653487Now take into consideration im using this just to get a job over my uni break, which lasts for 2months. So im not quite looking for a Programming job, just some computer technician/sales/tech support type jobs.SO tell me, what should i change, and no, offcourse it doesnt look visually as ugly as i posted it.   
Remove what classes you took in HSC. You're in uni now - nobody cares.Shorten "Linux / Windows Experience", "Linux Programming", "Windows Programming" and "Solid Programming Skills(C++, VB, MFC)" into less. Something like:Experienced developing on both Linux and WindowsKnown programming languages: C++, VBMaybe include MFC, it can't hurt I guess.Stop being so literal in your past job descriptions. And don't make them as long. People have a keen eye for when people are padding their resumes. Don't be afraid to have it short and sweet - this is only a mid-break job. Personally I would remove Receptionist totally, as there is nothing there that Computer Technician doesn't cover (unless you're applying for a job that doesn't deal with computers, in which case you may leave it there to counter the "comp.sci. people don't have people-skills" stigma).Receptionist---------------Handled bookings made by clientsComputer Technician / Sales-----------------------------Handled the installation, upgrading and removal of various computer partsReparied software and hardware problemsHandled sales of hardware and softwareGet rid of that word "Initiative". Nobody likes buzzwords.The rest is fine!Oh, one other thing: Always follow the "I am" rule - bullet points should generally be able to be prefixed with "I am/I have"->:Skills / Related Experience-----------------------------•Experienced working both unmonitored individually, and as a team•Experienced developing on both Linux and Windows•Known programming languages C++, VB•Written Many Custom, software Applications Previous Experience--------------------- 2004-2005Video Tek Australia (Weekend Work)Sydney, NSW   Computer Technician / SalesHandled the installation, upgrading and removal of various computer partsReparied software and hardware problemsHandled sales of hardware and softwareEducation-----------2005University Of Western SydneySydney, NSW2nd Year Bachelor of Computer Science.
