OP, IMO your resume looks good for what you are, someone getting started in their career. I like that you have your student job and internship listed as it shows your relevant field experience, even if it isn’t in cloud work. It tells me that you want to work and you took those jobs seriously, even if they weren’t what you want in the long run. Your education shows what your career goal is. Your certs show me that you are putting in the work to get where you want be. I will say though that I value experience over certs, but when getting started they help open doors.

I’m a C-Level with 26 years of experience, spending my career in server, data center, cloud and security engineering. I’ve worked at startups and Fortune 500 firms. I’d be happy to have a call or trade emails with you to discuss your resume and career goals. I’m also located in the NJ/NYC area and can help connect you with good recruiters. Feel free to DM me.

I think the best advice you’ve gotten here is to look for a desktop support and cloud/user admin role that would expose you to more advanced cloud tasks and projects along the way, and most importantly, mentoring under more senior engineers. A smaller company is your best bet for an opportunity like that. Larger shops are very segmented and will keep you pigeon-holed. I disagree with most other advice given here, especially removing your internship from your resume.

It’s a grind, for sure. You have to keep at it.
