Did you post your number…?
When applying to jobs, try to cram in some keywords from the posting that you have some knowledge of. Don’t completely fake it, but if it can get you past the HR screen to an interview, you’ve got time to learn a little about it.
Oh oops, well I haven’t received anything yet. It’s a voip number
Missed opportunity to put letterkenny, Ontario.
Good luck in the search. Don’t let them push you around too much.
The resume is looking good, nicely formated. You should get a portfolio going. Using something like GitHub / Codeberg to show off code you wrote (bash, html/css). It can help you really stand out. Heck, put your apache config up to show what you did.
When you are starting a career you are not applying for a job, you are convincing someon to take a chance on you. The more you can reduce that person 's risk the more likely you are to get the job.
Nobody cares about the bullet points under McDonalds - get rid of them and use the space to describe your projects or other experience more.
Once I get experience I’ll drop it but many people have stated that entry level IT values customer service skills so I plan on keeping it on my resume. Still something to consider though.
Keep the McDonalds position and maybe one line of description, but it feels like you’re reaching for length or something. I promise nobody is going to read the bullets under the position

You could frame your projects more user-oriented (or manager-oriented).
The first project is not “Apache Web Server” as that was only a technical detail in the project. It seems like it was about “Hosting a Website”? As sub-items you “secured the server with a firewall” and you “automated the publication process”. You can still attach keywords like ufw and Hugo but they are just a detail.
Was the second one just an exercise or something business-related in the Generic Computer Store? In the second case, mention and highlight that you set up “business-critical infrastructure”.
