Your website is really beautiful, but there is something that could send a wrong message and be detrimental.

The first time your website is loaded, that is to say without cache, there is a loading bar at the top.
All is well, and I was pretty excited to discover why I was asked to wait.

The loading went on for a few seconds and then I just saw a regular page that didn't make me understand at all why there was a loading.
It seems unnecessary and my knee jerk reaction was This person doesn't care about their craft

Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm not assuming anything but since it was my initial reaction I'm thinking I won't be the only one and losing a recruiter's interest for such a detail would be a shame.

Your website is SLICK!!! I like what you did with the %'s and the skills, that is a neat touch. I would assume that the left is beginner and right is mastery. You might want to put a little key on that just so people know what the scale is measuring.

For the CV itself.

  • I think the top three sections, Career Objective, Profile, and Personal Qualities you can do without on the CV. They are great but I think you should save them and use them in a cover letter or email that you would write when you are applying. By doing that you can also tailor them to the job you are applying to make sure you emphasis the qualities the job is looking for.
  • Project Undertaken and Research Work - make sure to get the spacing right under the bullets, that will just sharpen it up.
  • In terms of applying for a job I think you can do without Extra-Curricular Activities and Personal Details BUT I would put that you know multiple languages under you skills bc that is definitely not something everyone has.

Hope that helps :)
