What, exactly, is wrong with my CV (11)?
I've just moved back to Europe after three years of IT in banking experience in the US. I'd like to focus more closely on product control/business analysis or trading support within financial institutions, and am keen to know what everyone thinks of the clarity, wordiness and market appeal of my CV. Thank you!
