Hi guys!,

I wrote a resume for my CV, and I really need help with checking it as
all my friends have different doubts about it.

Thank you for help!

Desire of making beautiful things has driven me over the years.
I am an Architectural Assistant and a Master of Science with 3 years of professional experience. I graduated Architecture and Urban planning at Gdansk University of Technology, and had been studying at Lisbon University of Technology. I have also been studying Civil engineering at Gdansk University of Technology over 2 years.


My broad interest has revealed in many different scale projects. In my work, I seek new solutions and try to prove that impossible is nothing. Either these are the smallest apartments in London or just a chocolate café.


I am interested in every size projects from furniture designs through interiors, small constructions and architectural objects. My work characterizes touch of every detail care and a budget consideration. I believe beautiful design can be achieved in any circumstances.

The word "architect" s not a proper noun.

You can earn a master's degree in chemistry or physics or biology, but I don't think you can get a master's degree in science. (I could be wrong.)

Hi Kate
This is a letter and not a resume or a CV. A resume is the same as a CV. It is a set of fact sheets listing your personal data, qualifications, experience, etc.

They are cafes that specialize in chocolate desserts. Coffee and chocolate -- mm!

Funny you didn't know. The term "chocolate cafe" is in your letter/CV.

Any comments on the suggestions?

I've been to an incredible chocolate café in Paris - I think you could order coffee there but it's speciality was huge cups (almost bowls) of the most delicious hot chocolate. Rather than being made with powder and water/milk, it was just solid bars of good dark chocolate melted over a bain-marie and then poured into the cups. Amazing!

There are some here in Charlotte. (Caribou Cafe is one.) I'm going to have to try it some time.

Thank you very much for your answers! I have changed the text:

The desire to create beautiful things has driven me over the years.
I am a Master of Science (it is correct) and an Architectural Assistant with 3 years of professional experience. I graduated
in Architecture and Urban planning from Gdansk University of Technology, and I also studied at Lisbon University of Technology. I have also been studying Civil engineering at Gdansk University of Technology for over 2 years.


My broad interest (interests?) has revealed in many different scale projects. In my work (works?) I seek new solutions and try to prove that impossible is nothing (nothing is impossible?). Either these are the smallest apartments in London or just a chocolate café.


I am interested in every size projects from furniture designs through to (?) interiors, small constructions and architectural objects.
My work is characterized by having touch in every detail and a budget consideration.(?) I believe beautiful design can be achieved under any circumstances.

Try:

The desire to create beautiful things has motivated me to pursue a career in architecture.

(The other sentence doesn't make sense under the circumstances.)

If you don't capitalize "architect" why would you capitalize "architectural assistant"?

In the UK they capitalize Architectural Assistant as job position title.

So the field your degree is in is "Architecture", not "Architect".
