And now, the recruiters will pound on your email box, demanding entry!

No need to include class projects, though. You're working at Cisco for the last 5 years, so that's what people want to talk about. Also drop the coursework and move skills to the top.

Also need to quantify to show value,  companies are looking for valuable employees....

[deanwebb]

This is turning into a resume clinic. Nice!

Ristau is right: "show value" should have some money figure attached to it. If in doubt, estimate. If you put a few minutes into it and use imagination, you will find the figure that looks right for what value you showed or saved.

Also, if you managed a project or assisted in the management of a project, include the cost and scope, so you can demonstrate what size project you've worked on.

"I installed NAC" is not helpful.

"I installed NAC, a project with (x) budget, (y) sites globally, and with (z) employees in the company" is very descriptive and gets right to the point: I can do this sort of thing with these types of parameters.

I like to see pictures of cats. The more you show the more of a technical master I feel you are.

Add in Cat gifs and you are a wizard!!

Dude, if I got a printed resume that had functioning animation on it, I would want to work for the guy that did that.
