This part of the CV looks like a cross between a covering letter and a profile/summary to me. It seems too long and it repeats information that is present elsewhere in the CV. I would shorten it and use it to get your main message across to the person scanning it at high speed. Sorry to post my own latex-generated CV twice in one thread, but for ease of reference, this is what I mean: http://www.hoogli.com/Andrew_Cox_cv.pdf http://www.hoogli.com/Andrew_Cox_cv.pdf My profile there splits into two parts: 1. I am ... 2. I want ... So: "Strong software engineer with substantial OpenGL and OpenGL ES and general 3D graphics and GPU programming experience, a background in R&D, and currently developing for Android [1]. Looking for challenging short-term contracts that leverage these strengths[2]." That's it.
