What is wrong with this CV?

Hi all,

I have been using my CV around for some months, and suddenly, an HR agent asked me to correct “several” grammatical errors in it. I have asked an English-speaking friend to review it. But, as I have added some changes or updates, I may have introduce some errors.

Would you please review it? I have posted only its first part. I don’t want to abuse from your patience.

I am very curious to know what is wrong with it. Please, focus only on the English grammar and not in template, model and so on.

Disregard some technical IT acronyms.

Thanks a million.

Thank you once more for your help. I am going to post another part of my CV soon after doing similar corrections you did.

Is there any general guideline on using "in" or "on" in this context? I have noticed that was my most common error.

Thank you.

Hi, I'm portuguese too.. I was looking for something related with languages when I found this message. If you are still sending CVs, you might want to consider revising it...specially by using active verbs at the beginning of the sentences. Check at <url removed by mod.> the vault resume and cover letter guide!

Boa sorte!
