Entirely too long, too much info.
Employers don't want to be bothered with reading that much detail, especially when possibly reviewing 100 resumes or more.

Shorten the descriptions and focus on using power words.
Remove the and (&) and plus (+) symbols.
Agree with other poster... remove the Roman Numerals.

How many CEO's do think have a one page resume? One page show's lack of experience and/or education.

In what way? If they aren't a job hopper, one page would be adequate.

Not sure if OP is a job hopper but the last one page resume I looked at went in the trash. It's common knowledge to most in the corporate world that staying more than three years at any one job causes stagnation. For some that's fine but I expect more from myself.

Not a job hopper.  Over past 4 years had 3 jobs,  One was one i worked for 7 years ago.  Good company to work for but they have a high burnout rate about 2 years is the limit.  Other 2 jobs just happened to get hired into some shitty companies.
