Looks OK.

I found "Nationality...Canadian Resident" to be a bit odd as thats not a nationality as much as a legal status that allows you to work here (I see where you are coming from though). If it were me I would try and change it...but off the top of my head I cant think quite how I would phrase it. Maybe just leave it off completely and cover that in a covering letter if necessary.

Also all the other sections under the blue headers end with a .(full stop) except that one?

Thanks, very good advice... I'll fix it...

Nice work - what an interesting background you have. I have also just completed my resume (although not on the web). Some of my thoughts are:

1. Divide your list of skills (in bold) into two colums. This will give you more space at the end of your resume to help 'space out' the client logos you have used.

2. As your resume is chronological, in my opinion, your present place of employment should be listed first in your Employment section.

3. Start your bullet points with 'action verbs'. For example, instead of saying "After being given a new territory...." say something like, "Increased total sales by 3.3% and increased gross profit percentage by 3.1% despite loss of major account by previous manager which generated 29% of sales volume".

4. Try not to mix your verb tenses. Don't mix present tense verbs with past tense verbs. If you are talking about your position from 1998 to 2001, use only past tense verbs. For your current postion, only use present tense verbs.

5. Keep your choice of bullets the same. I mean if you want to use diamond shaped bullets, use them throughout, don't mix different styles of bullets. Also, try not to mix fonts.

6. At the bottom of your resume, you say "Major client I worked with", instead say "Major clients I have worked with" or something like that but make the word client plural.

Still, you certainly know more about web resume writing than I do. I have no idea how to make an internet resume, so well done.

Very impressive resume, Imram.
What did it for me was the " watching the NASCAR races " part

Not to offend I find that a bit blur. Your education and your job period are the same what age were you in 98-2001 as you have mentioned you were a director of sales. Either you have committed a mistake or you are fooling around with some sensible people on this from. If the latter is ture, pls dont that again, if former then pls correct it as does not look sensible for a person who is a director of sales posting something erronous on his CV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No gruding or hard feelings.

Well 6+ years in sales experience and still person doesn't get promoted to director, I think that person doesn't belong in Sales field. If a person doesn't get to Director level in sales, he/she doesn't belong in sales group. My friend sales is completly different ball game.

Where I'm right now, I was team lead then promoted to manager and final dorector. It took took me 4 years to where I'm and you are saying I'm joking.

Just wanted to explain my position, no offense
