Amazing🔥🔥🔥,but in skill sections remove those percentages😅.Many recruiters have suggested not to put such percentages as how can a candidate knows that he has X% of knowledge with a particular language.Many recruiters gets annoyed by this.

Yeah Sure Its a common mistake. I made that in design but also mentioned in my video tutorial that why is this bad idea to put percentage in skill section. Thanks 👍

Yup! And because of that, I have replaced the percentage number with a ✔ (to mark checked/completed).

Well, isn't that some kind of redundant information then?

You (hopefully) wouldn't list skills, you don't have in your CV, would you? Therefore everything you mention should have a checkmark. And if everything has it, it's somewhat redundant. 😄

Yes, you are right!

That's why, I have just put the logos (coloured ones looked better than black and white ones) in the skills section and removed the percent scores and checks as well.

One thing I do on mine is to list my skill level in a thing as either Great, Good, Fair, or Basic. That way, it gives across what I want to convey, but is less rigid than something like a percent score in a skill.

A score of 100% in a skill is effectively impossible, and if 100% is impossible to achive, it means that the other values have no meaning, because they can never be accurate.
