I know it looks professional but doesn't it look too busy?
Would an employer really read through all this?

That's pretty intense, generally 2 full pages for a professinal resume is the standard, but it also depends on what type of job you are looking for. Looking through that, personally, I can see a bit of fat that I would trim off, things like the CSR stuff at canon, just removing the bullets as it has little to do with the objective, but still state the position, and the pc skills that are stated are pretty generic, so those can probably be assumed of anyone in that field too.

The other thing is that with resumes, it should be highlight skills, in there I see a lot of paragraphs which is what makes it quite wordy and full. I would probably save that for the cover letter.

But the thing with resumes is that you could go to three different career practioners / employers and still get three different opinions.
