Hi Everyone!

Could anyone just help me with the following paragraph? I have some doubts about its grammatical accuracy. I am not sure whether my using ING after each coma is correct!

I don't want to be pushy, but I kinda need it urgently. I will appreciate anyone's help in correcting this paragraph.

Equip myself with necessary and essential skills and knowledge that would enable me to contribute in building a developed business and professional environment in xxx through improving professional and business skills of individuals in private and governmental sectors, developing organizational structures and systems of xxxi private and governmental institutions, developing high standard performance for xxx institutions and hence set and prepare them to enter global markets as well as identify business opportunities for foreign investment.

Hi Clive,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply and your help! It was very timely and I appreciate it a lot! The paragraph I provided is the objective part of my resumes, that is why it is written in point form.
