Dan,
I have made 2 corrections. It appears that in several instances an upercase i has appeared were a 1 should be. One is in my address where I have also added “Apt”. Not sure how this fits into “Resume English”, so you can make it appropriate for this style. Added certification grroups 1 and 2 as this is how they are represented by the organization responsible for the testing.
Thanks for the great work
Now that I see the job you have done I am interested in having a cover letter written. I will check into this.

Greg,
This looks amazing! I can not thank you enough for all the hard work you have already put in.
I looked it over and found a few small edits I would like to suggest. I used the track changes method on MS Word.
I originally planned on just having the resume made, but am now back in the Florida Keys and do not have access to internet (except through my phone).
I would like to extend my order for having my LinkedIn account match the final resume. Is there any information needed from me in order to make this happen?
Thank you so much for all your help!

Peter,
Thank you for the feedback. Your comments are highly appreciated and offer interesting insight.
I agree that having my CV redone by a professional writer is the way to go. So I will be happy to ask you to do that for me.
Regarding ‘Objectives’ I understand that in proper style you do not explicitly mention objectives in the CV but probably somewhere else like a cover letter or e-mail.
As a convinced supporter and practitioner of P.F.Drucker’s and F.Malik’s ideas on result-oriented management having and clearly stating professional objectives is very important to me – especially at senior level.
What I especially like about your feedback is to make achievements in the CV even more measurable by quantifying results wherever possible which is what I do professionally anyway.
So I am looking forward to fruitful cooperation with you and your team.
I will have the request though to make my CV appealing not only to US but also to European or Asian companies.
Regards,
Martin S.
