Hi, Blew.
Hope you'll find this useful.
The 4th line in your "Work experience" : The events resulted in two different patent applications. I think, you need to be more precise here, maybe that could sound like "patent for the cooker".
The 2nd line at Computer Skills... "Software" appears to be uncountable. (Or is this just a typo?)
I'd advise you to check your style, I mean using objects without sujects, like "Play guitar in blues rock...". Maybe, it's natural in CVs, but for me it looks a bit strange.
Good luck.

Thank you for your reply, Altynay.
You're right about that i need to be more precise but there is patent confidentiality because of investigation of application. Well, i dont want any trouble with the issue.
What do you mean "Software appears to be uncountable" ? Because, i give the specific list in paranthesis. Should i cut software and put the softwares' names which is in paranthesis ?
You're right again. It is strange for me too. But i'm little bit confused because i'm not native. I examined different type of CVs and i think the details in Work Experience section are ok. But that part "Play guitar", is confusing. Some of UK samples, use the verbs in that section without -ing, but most of US and Canadian samples use the verb with -ing. (samples from universities)

Regarding software, I just think it is not normally used in plural form "softwares" (to be honest, I checked this by Google and it returned only "software" results - singular form, at least at the 1st page). I daren't judge whether you should put the names into parenthesis or not.
As for Interests section, it contains all the needed information and seems to be correct. I thought it is uniform.
Maybe someone else could help you with style, by the way, I'm a non-natve speaker, too.

Ok. Now i got your point about software. And, well now i'm going to check some styles of CV and rearrange things. Thank you for your precious help. By the way, if anyone wants to help about the style or has some advices, please tell me about it.
