Hi all,

I have been using my CV around for some months, and suddenly, an HR agent asked me to correct “several” grammatical errors in it. I have asked an English-speaking friend to review it. But, as I have added some changes or updates, I may have introduce some errors.

Would you please review it? I have posted only its second part. I don’t want to abuse from your patience.

I am very curious to know what is wrong with it. Please, focus only on the English grammar and not in template, model and so on and disregard some technical IT acronyms.

Thanks a million.

I have indicated the few outright corrections I could find in bold.  Because you have chosen to present your information in sentence fragments, it is very difficult to analyze or make consistent any grammar present.  If you continue to get complaints, I would suggest that you try casting it in paragraphs ( "I was a sales consultant for Oracle Bl solutions, using demonstrations, prototyping, proofs of concept and presentations prepared for both potential and existing customers.  I also designed customer business needs analyses and matched them to solutions, conducted internal sales team training, and had some involvement in marketing.")
