I will be graduating from The University of Montana soon...(May 2011) As I am currently still young, and have little job experience I was wondering if I could get some input on my resume to allow for the best possible presentation I could give to an employer.

Thanks

I usually write resume on top of European curriculum vitae format, don't know if this could help you. Anyway give it a shot!

The absolute best advice I can give to any new graduate is to check out this: The Recession-Proof Graduate (http://www.slideshare.net/choehn/recessionproof-graduate-1722966). You need to go full-screen to get the most out of it.

Your resume looks solid. You've already got relevant work experience, which is a big plus. I'm kinda jealous, actually. I studied web design, but all the jobs I see are to be system administrators. Kudos to you!

The only thing I can think of that might boost your chances is to write a report or "white paper" about an interesting IT project you've done. Like setting up a media server in your house. Or how you built a computer lab at a low-income school. Then add a line to your resume with a brief description of that project. Attach the report when you send out your resume.

Just speaking for myself, I know which attachment I'd rather read.
Example:
Attach: 1) Resume 2) How I built a media server to stream music throughout my house

Good luck with finding a job.
