Cv

Hello Guys,
I'm working on my CV I'm from Poland so English is my foreign language but I have to write my CV in English to. 
I'm an engineer of computer science and have many problems with words in my field.
Should I use gerund forms or others ?  For example Implementation of new IT system or Implementating of new IT systems  which form is corect ?

Hello vvojtek-- and welcome to English Forums. In part it depends on your specific layout and presentation. Generally, I suggest that you use active voice in paragraphs ( I implemented a new IT system, monitored its effectiveness, and reported to the General Manager ) and use the noun forms in listing-- and you will soon discover that you must use the -ing forms when no other form exists: My duties included: - Implementation of a new IT system - Monitoring of its effectiveness - Reporting to the General Manager If almost all of them are -ing forms, then change the other(s) to match: Implementing of a new IT system.
