It is a shame that honesty won't get you anywhere.
(though I should leave out the parts about drinking 6 cups of coffee, eating a dozen cream filled donuts, 2 power naps, and posting on Apolyton half the night (no, I'm not a TMI supervisor
)).

Your resume doesn't look crowded at all to me.
I would change the line :
analyzed, debugged, and corrected customer code or environments that were too difficult or complex for “level zero” (call center) and “level one” (local) support
to:
analyzed, debugged, and corrected customer code or environments that were escalated from level zero and level one supportWe the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham LincolnComment

This is normal? cool.
And it's good to know that you can write in conferences and seminars as part of your experience.

Two pages is fine. Mine had education and work experience on the first page, and publications, skills, and honors on the second page. If there's no way in hell they'll hire you, then they won't look past the first page. If they're interested, then they won't begrudge you a second page. Plus, if you've uploaded the resume then it can only help to have additional buzzwords in there -- I had an entire section on coursework, just on the off chance that somebody did a search for "numerical analysis" or something like that (I also had to balance out the publications list, which mostly contained conference papers on AI -- a positive sign to some employers, and a big red flag to most).<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures

I agree with Loinburger. If you have two pages, then the first page is merely to get them to read the second, which is where the details of the skills you showed on the first page should be. So page one is the resume itself, and you say things like "1337 hAXX0R", and then on page two you have descriptions of your past jobs and/or other experience to explain exactly what your hAXX0Ring skills are, and how you have used them in the past.

True that... since it is on paper, you don't want to write anything that the reader may consider to be pompous or arrogant, because you can't explain it.Originally posted by Ted Striker

If you're just out of college then you shouldn't have a resume greater than one page. More than one page at 22 or 23 looks pompous.If you look around and think everyone else is an *******, you're the *******.Comment

Not concerned about getting a job, per se, I've got one open for me. I'm still applying for many other jobs incase I find one with better pay, one that is more interesting, or simply for the interviewing experience.
