Default Re: Please revise my CV for grammar and mistakes!

Your CV has already been checked for spelling and grammatical mistakes. So, I will just point out a few other things that you should keep in mind while preparing your resume. They are as follows:

1) Don't mention about your hobbies if they are not related to the job you are applying for.

2) Don't use words like "I", "my" and "me" in your CV.

3) Mention your responsibilities/ duties using bullet points.

4) It is not absolutely necessary to include your "personal statement"

5) Paint a picture of how hiring you will help the company.
