First I cannot say for certain. However I will pick up on a few points you could improve. Also, these are my opinions and potential employers may have their own opinions. vgrigor1 wrote: To find a position as a programmer in a field C++, MFC ATL, DCOM, DBMS,XML, Client/Server 2,3 tier, LAN/Internet programming Personally I don't like programmer, I think that "software developer" is a better description. If you get the chance you should tailor your CV for each employer so you can say "C++ Software developer" or whatever depending on the job you are going for. Also, you have 8 years experience, inserting the word "senior" might also appear better. Finally, on this section, your list of fields is too large. A potential employer or recuitment agency is going to think: "We don't have any jobs that do all that." So, again try and taylor it to the individual application, or if you can't just list the most important one or two. vgrigor1 wrote: Microsoft Certification: ...SCORE - 860 for 540 pass of 1000 total. This section is too verbose. Just give the name and number of the exam. Also, I'm an MCSD, and your score line make no sense to me. Did you get 860 out of 1000, if so, what does the 540 mean? vgrigor1 wrote: EMPLOYMENT HISTORY This section mostly lists the technology that you used in each job. It doesn't actually say much about the job itself. If you are going for a permanent position (and if you are looking to relocate then I guess you are) then you need to give more about your duties and reponsibilities. Also, you mix the verb tenses which can make it a little jarring to read. e.g. "System of data gathering, analyzing" Vs. "Provided COM subsystems". Personally, I would prefer the first example to be changed to "Gathered and analysed..." because that is showing a past-action-now-completed and potential employers like to see you can complete stuff (even if it is on a subconsious level). The present continuous tense (-ing endings) make it sound like you are still working on it and the end date is somewhat fuzzy. vgrigor1 wrote: please note that above is a most preferable specializations Re-read your CV for small errors like this.

REsume made on the send requirements from west companies: As more detail as possible. Senior- means just high positioned, while I want underline qualification. Fluent- also choice from combo, of Employer's demand.
vgrigor1 wrote: As more detail as possible If this was for an individual company try and figure out what they want from you and don't add in too much extra. I've been in a position where I was looking through CVs to find ones suitable to interview, the first stage is always to find something to immediately reject a potential candidate. Do not give them any reason to reject you. A CV I once rejected was on the grounds that it was too long and I didn't have time to read it. (Mind you it was about 12 pages). Typically, in the US a résumé should be about 1 page, and in the UK a CV should be about 2 pages, anything more and you run the risk of rejection because of size. vgrigor1 wrote: also choice from combo, of Employer's demand If this is from an online form then there is nothing you can do about including the word "fluent". However, remeber to view it from the employer's perspective, English is a foreign language to you, but not to them. I hope this helps.

I can tell you what helps me out. I don't know how well it'll work in other areas/countries (I'm in the southeastern US btw). First and foremost, employers have to go through a TON of resumes/CVs nowadays. Programmers are a dime a dozen. Now, they have to weed out the bad ones, but that's not always easy when looking at over a hundred applications. So, the very top of your resume needs to be sales pitch. If they don't like what they see first, then they won't even read the rest of your resume. Second. Don't get too verbose. They have a lot to go through. And, don't tell them too much in it. Make them more curious about you and have them get in touch to find out more. Also, don't put so little they think this resume/CVs is a joke. It's walking a fine line, and you need to find it. Third, if you go into an interview, don't be timid. Most employers I know want an employee they like being around. You're selling your personality as well. Try to relax, but keep a sense of professionalism. Make it a point for them to understand just how much you can offer to their company, and do it in words they can understand (very important). Hope that helps. Jeremy Falcon
