Need your opinion about my resume

| Salaam Munzir,
One thing that I would suggest is a bulleted list . . . they are easier to read and stand out more than information buried in a paragraph . . . it makes skimming the resume for info much quicker. For an online resume this is OK, but if you were to print it out, I would include the material in the left frame in the main body somehow. Skills looks to me like it should be the most crucual area (along with expereience), but you have it off to the left like it is not as important. Just my $.02. | |

| Yeah, I saw those tags and was wondering if it came out of a template. I guess it did. | |

| Not to be picky, but the font is a little difficult to read. What is that, Tahoma? Not necessarily bigger, but something with a little more open space is easier to skim through and pick up the important points. And let's face it, 99% of the time they're gonna just skim over it 
Maybe a better choice would be Times New Roman or Garamond, or even CG Times?
There appear to be some different colume widths happening in your sidebar. Look for the differences between "Objective" and "Personal."
You also have a couple of different bullet sizes, probably thanks to Word's autoformating. See under "Certifications" and "Pursuing." (It might be that the second, larger bullet is just formatted bold like the line above it.)
Capitalize first word in the sentance beginning "have done several projects..." There are some other awkward phrasing and typos like "Trouble Shootings," missing periods, etc. I know it's tough writing a resume in a language not your native tongue, but if you are job hunting in English-speaking countries, I'd try to have a native English speaker do a detailed proofreading job when you can be there to discuss the intent of what you are trying to say. It's not bad and you get the point across, but the wordings could use polish and clarity. It will help get your resume noticed.
Something that is a little confusing is the repitition of the word "Environment" in bold. If anything, your job title or other crucial information should be what sticks out. It's hard to tell where one job description stops and another starts. Ditto on Randy's suggestion about creating a bulletted list of job duties instead of free form paragraphs. |
