This is mostly good advice. One minor suggestion that I have is to remove the paragraphs from your professional experiences, and keep the professional summary at the top brief. Just stick with 3 to 5 bullets for each experience using strong action verbs, preferably at start of bullet, and ideally no more than 1 line per bullet. Recruiters don't spend much time reading your resume. One study showed the average is around 7 seconds per resume (theladders.com/career-advice/you-o...). You want to optimize the content they get in that 7 seconds.
I hate writing resumes. I developed a phobia when looking for a job. I really feel that CVs are so outdated. I mean, who even reads the whole thing? I doubt HR does. More and more modern and growing companies switch to alternative hiring and skill assessment tools like makipeople.com. I think such tools are much more useful than listing numerous degrees on paper that no one cares about. I have a friend with no degree, and he brings his company millions yearly. Now that's a nice CV.
Likewise with me also, So did a bit research, to avoid much revisions
Your first image has your birthdate at top of your resume. I meant to add that you should cut that out. Potential employers don't need that when considering hiring you.
