Thanks!! or maybe I should not mention at all the RIF part? or mention it with a reason, the operation actually move over to Mexico, should I?

I am not and IT person. You tell me, would the IT industry not be impressed by your listing of IT skills?

I said your resume is good to go based the content and format you presented your facts. I had no idea how much value it carries in the IT field. I assume it had some worth and concluded that "why let a person of so much talent go?"I think potential employers may have similar thoughts.

Anyway here is my assessment of you after reading your resume.
You been around since the text programming days and snowballed your experience over the years. It seem that almost everything out there in the IT world you had touched on. Moving from the days of 286 and maybe even the Vic20 to Pentium quart is a long journey. Most people would have specialized as the field begin to find and form new branches. Since you are ask to RIF I can conclude that you are a jack of all trades but master of none. Assume that I have the technical expertise I will probe on this unless you cover my doubts.

Hey, operation moved to Mexico is a good one. Do it on the cover letter not the resume. Your resume is well organize already. Don't try to insert a misfit into it.

Thanks a lot for the explanation and advice, now I understand what was your point. By the way I was not ask for RIF, but it was given without a choice, they want to cut cost and move the operation to Mexico, my whole team gone and other team as well.

Again thanks a lot for your advice and opinion, really appreciate it.

You have writing skills. I believe you can cover it well.

Then there is no reason to add "Junior" to the title just because you are a fresh grad.

Hi guys.. when we send resumes in emails is it necessary to include all the certificates aswell? (would make it big though)

You don't have to include certificates. If it is so crucial to have it, the employer will ask for it. In most cases they are more interested in looking at the original when they shortlist you for interview.

As to size you can always scan a smaller copy.

I am interested in more than one position offered by the same company. Should I write different cover letter for different position?

Chose only one. The one that you think you have the best chance. If you do get an interview you may inquire about the other position during question time.
