What is wrong with this IT CV?

Anonymous — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 09:08:57 GMT

Hi all,

I have been using my CV around for some months, and suddenly, an HR agent asked me to correct âseveralâ 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 donât 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.

"She has arrived late these last mornings" "She has been very tired these last days." "She has been skipping meals these last lunchtimes."

No we wouldn't say it exactly like that.

"She has arrived late these last few mornings" "She has been very tired these last few days." "She has been skipping meals these last few lunchtimes."
