Thanks for the feedback, any comments about spelling, grammer or something like that? I am not native so that would be helpful Very Happy

The other thing, is it called master thesis or masters thesis

Many thanks,

I think expounding on your work experience would be helpful. I'm sure you did more there than simply a sentence worth of work.

If this is to be used in the UK, you should consider compiling a brief introduction (profile) at the top of your CV to showcase your main selling points - think of your CV as your personal sales tool.

Also, as per the previous post, you should try and expand slightly on your employment section - this is an ideal way of demonstrating transferable skills!
