Comment on Offer HN: I will review and critique your CV.parent

Comments

Here's adding to your workload - http://sidmitra.com/resume.pdf Let me know if i can every repay your effort with some of my skill sets.

My take:

Not overly convinced with listing the skills down the right hand side. It makes it a little hard to read. I generally recommend that people stick to "normal" layouts and list skills at the end.

Also; be more specific with the skills if you can. "Database design" can mean many things (this is particularly important if you go for, say, a DB design job :)).

Also; it is ok to write a short prose section under "interests" or something, which is where you can be a bit more creative and sell yourself.

Otherwise, pretty good :)

I'll second pretty much everything ErrantX mentioned, specifically the skills comment, move them. I appreciate you are probably trying to keep it to one page but I promise you that this does not give you any advantage whatsoever.

As for specifics, list your day to day duties and responsibilities in a format that will stand out and be easy to read such as a list of bullet points under each brief.

Thanks for all the comments to ErrantX and Kozen. Will try to make relevant changes soon.

One positive: I really like your typography. Which fonts are you using?

...Programming ninja...

I'm not sure whom this is meant to appeal to.
