2 questions about Resume wording?

1. I am both A+ and Network+ certified under CompTIA. For my objective I put this. Does this look OK?

"Passionate A+ and Network+ certified technician with proven dedication, excellent customer service, and impeccable work ethic. Seeking to apply my abilities and enthusiasm as a computer technician."

2nd question: In my technical college I learned all about printer installation and troubleshooting. Should I say under skills Extensive printer knowledge or Extensive knowledge of printer installation and troubleshooting? Or something else?

Thank you so much!

    Leave the "objective" off. Employers hardly read them, they are all the same, they pretty much only have the potential to turn people off not make you stand out, and it's a waste of space. The employer knows why you applied.

    For your printer skills, I would just say "printer installation and troubleshooting." Your skills need to be written in parallel form, so your other ones would need to be formatted the same, like "Microsoft Office programs," "Quickbooks 2.0" etc. If you are going to start one with an adjective like "extensive") or a verb (like "lead" or "managed") then they all need to be that way.
