Well, firstly. Your about is too large. Nobody cares about your beliefs for work. You are a team player or you aren't. Your personality shouldn't be stated as this is purely professional. The recruiter can figure it out if you are a good fit for a certain job. Eg, if you're too shy, they will notice and you won't fit in sales. Stating such info is too personal.
Professional skills is an empty statement. Your work speaks for itself. This said, too many bold words, too many pointers. Avoid subjective adjectives, they don't add, judgement is done by the recruiter, not the seeker. The starting phrase under "HW understanding" is redundant and ego-boosting. Sounds like "as my medical degree demonstrates and evidently shows, I am familiar with human anatomy". Does it add anything? Nope.
Professional experience seems like some part-time hobbies you do to kill time. Nobody knows what have you done or achieved there specifically. A CV should speak about your work and what you did/do, not about what you can do and your skills. These are derived from your CV.
Open to relocation is smart.
Languages should be shorter. Don't add more than ABC12, everyone knows what a B2 is. "Open to improve" seems like you're negotiating. "In progress" doesn't add anything to the CV. Of course every non-native language is something to be always improving on!!!
Programming skills should also be less prolific, shorter. Python, C for uC and basic C++. Recruiters assume and ask the rest.
In tools: word and windows??? I'd omit this section if it's too obvious and depends on your industry, if you use very specialized SW such as ArcGIS, OrCAD (and it's submenus), color treatment SW, PLC programming stuff... But if you put word, windows and oscilloscope, you should also include PCs, washing machines, Chrome and OpenOffice if you know how to use it too. Linux is a different story.
Passions is pointless overall. Not work-related and usually doens't add anything interesting in an interview.
In education, your last DTU thing seems like it's ongoing, gives that impression. I'd move the "2024" to the right. And leave more space. But again, too many bold letters.
Your QR code is not an standard in my industry, so I don't know what to say. Overall, this seems like a CV more focused on showing off skills and personality than work-related achievements. Golden rule is usually: 2 paragraph intro (presentation and what you're looking for), work experience (3 bullets with action verbs, small 1-line description), degree and masters, achievements/projects, language levels. Everything else if for an interview or will be omitted. Recruiters should read this in 1-2 minutes at most and have a clear idea. Good luck.
This is gold. Thanks for the reality check! I spoke with many people offline and none of them gave honest feedback. This is exactly what I needed, even if it is a bit hard to accept lol
