2 comments:
* There is not enough information in it. You must include education history (inc. all schools and qualifications you have), full work history (inc. company names and addresses and your responsibilies)... and relate your professional experience to these. And some names/address of referees if you have them. I would also include a summary of your key skills at the top.
* Your spelling and grammar are appalling. I would suggest having it rewritten by someone with a better command of written English. When I am reading people's CVs they will go straight in the bin if they are badly written.

Sorry! But good luck...

Phil

If I were you I would create a CV via a website such as www.monster.co.uk, in which you will have to fill in a pre-configured questionnaire. This will produce a CV in the correct format.

As to the English, Phil is absolutely right. I would also bin poorly written CV's, and I guess that most employers in the UK would. When you have your CV in the correct format, get someone you know that has a good command of written English to correct it.

Another tip, limit yourself to 1 or 2 pages max, but www.monster.co.uk will give you a lot of tips on CV writing (which is an art, by the way, and should not be taken lightly).

Asim, I did not look at the previous version so cannot comment on any improvement.

My first comment is this .... put it through a spellchecker ... and make sure that spellchecker is checking for English spellings rather than American ones.

Words like ... summarize .... need to be translated into English .... assuming you are wanting to get a job in the UK rather than the US.

Secondly, if you are intending to point people at this website (?) .... then get rid of the adverts! (I accept that you may have only placed it there temporarily to show Board members and when circulating it for real your methodology may be a bit different.)
