Don't simply describe what you are doing.

Talk about the IMPACT of your roles.

This was a great example from your resume: "Solved hardware and software problems with success rate of approximately 90%"

You are asian. Most people assume you are naturally intelligent, when in doubt, tell them you speak Japanese.

BTW, wtf is "new venture finance"?

 

It would be nice to see how this thing is actually structured in Word/Adobe. Try using Razume.com and linking us to what your resume actually looks like.
