Words in CV

Hi, hope I can offer some consructive comments.

I would change "highly experienced" to "experienced and effective" as "highly" seems to be too self-aggrandizing and not really descriptive.

Sp error under Skills: change "has lead small teams" to "has led small teams" as led is the correct past tense of lead.

I agree with someone's comment on the inconsistency, where most but not all bullets start with "Has" (an active verb would be stronger). Also, under Skills and Hobbies (or the whole thing, actually), I would change the focus from third person (after all, you are writing about yourself) to first person. I guess that would eliminate all of those "has" starts.

Hope the above is useful. By the way, I'm happy to see that someone out there actually does spell the noun "practice", 'cuz it's the verb that is spelled with an ess.

Hugs,
H.

With the bullets, you don't need a personal pronoun, therefore, no "I" is stated. 'Cuz, after all, you were starting a whole bunch of them with "Has"+verb, leaving the "He" implied.

In any case, consistency in content is the goal.

Hugs,
H.
