Coincidentally, I just completed my last day at COXnet. I really like the
layout; I use something similar :) . I would recommend possibly bolding key
technologies in the Overview section. I would do this sparingly; maybe a few
things you think are going to be critical for the job you want next or for
things that are underrepresented on your resume. So, in your case, you
wouldn't need to bold MySQL, because it's everywhere :) . Also, in the Apple
Computer experience section, "from" and "away" should probably be switched.
I would like to hear other people's opinions on this also, but I would argue
that it doesn't really help to put skill level and could potentially hurt.
Put the skill, get past HR with that, then the interviewer will ask you
about what skill they are interested in, and you will be able to give them a
detailed description on why you put that skill on there. I think the blue
links look fine. Good luck in your search,
