Firstly, I want to know whether you have the skills I want. That means you should put your claims for skills at the top. Then you should support them. In addition to your technical skills you need to say that you have led/managed successful projects. Then you should support those claims by naming them. For HR people or recruitment agencies you need to be short, sharp, and to the point. They need to tick the boxes and have a warm, fuzzy feeling that you really do have those skills. Personally, I was reading your resume and got a half screen down and was thinking - yes, but can you do what I want? I hope that helps - I'm sure others will have different opinions.

  I tend to agree. One of my first thoughts when I looked at it was "You seriously want me to read all this?" If the focus is supposed to be "here are the reasons why I'm a good candidate for your company", make sure that it's as easy as possible for a potential employer to pick out the important points.
