A piece he described as a “creepy sex dungeon” was removed before judging last year.

Yeah, so this isn't this guy's first time pushing the envelope with the miniatures art.

I like that you used action words first for each bullet point under each project. i.e. Configured, Handled, Established, Developed, etc.. Keep that. In general everything is kept brief, which is good, but make sure it emphasizes the most important qualities or skills/experience for each. Here is definitely not the place to sell yourself short or minimize the project or your abilities. Embellish a little bit on them. Sure, lots of people have set up apache web server on an old unused desktop, but you don't have to minimize the effort or value it added. Plenty of people have also never done that and don't have the competency to do it either. Even people you may end up working with.

I know others have harped on the work experience section or suggested removing it, but I would say keep it and work with what you have. My first suggestion is to make it more brief and less wordy. Spin your experience gained and responsibilities more to the type of job you want than the job you had.

For example, I think it's good to keep this section because it shows you can hold a job and some responsibility. When you obtain your next relevant job in IT, you can probably drop the fast food position, unless you feel it ends up adding significant value later on.

Additionaly, from that first work experience, emphasize any soft skills you developed or used involving interfacing with customers. Depending on your exact role in IT, you could be assisting other employees or interfacing with customers or business partners. So establishing you are an approachable person because of your relevant experience in a customer-facing role can be positive thing.

Finally, I agree with other comments about ordering things starting with most recent, and working backwards from there. This would naturally land the work experience last.

I have no idea why, but I just tried it again and it loaded for me this time. But it wasn't loading and I got the exact message described in the original post at the time.
