One or two line summary followed by bullet points and everything should be in chronological order. IT resumes aren't that hard to read depending on the format used to describe your particular skillset and the job you're seeking. So I say don't pay anyone unless you're desperate. I suggest posting here first as I'm sure someone would gladly critique it for you. My resume is currently up to 9 pages and filled with mostly redundant info from jobs spanning the last 5 years. I don't list any contracts lasting less than three (3) months and I keep a trimmed copy that's forwarded to hiring managers when needed. I present the 9-page booklet during the interview where I'm given the opportunity to expand on what's listed because no one wants to read through all of the gibberish.
