Got referred to this post from https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3174677

Some of the items I see in the resume are interesting/weird.

The Highlights said "I have previous experience in C, C++.......Thus my long term passion is to embark on a managerial role..."

First, the word "Thus" is incorrectly used here. What has C++ experience got to do with management? If you say "I have recently completed MBA, thus my long term passion is to embark on a managerial role..", that is not too bad but C++ is not skills related to management.. It would be better to remove the word "Thus" completely and start with "My long term passion...". To use the word "Thus" there implies your lack of comprehension of the word "Thus".

Second, no where in your work experience has anything to do with software development or C++. Putting "I have previous experience in C, C++..." in your highlights is, if I may say, pure "rubbish". Anyone can say "I have previous experience in this or that", so whatever you say there must be substantiated. Also, that's your highlights. And you are highlighting something (C++) that you have no real life working experience in.



The other weird item is the part that said "Ultimate freebees.... helps you to make critical and logical decision". Maybe ultimate freebees works for you, not for everyone, maybe it helps to make critical and logical decision, maybe not. Maybe not at all to most other people. Keep that to yourself and off the resume but you can bring it up in the interview if it is something you want to talk about.
