I made a CV(?) and I want to make sure it's actually decent and that I don't come off as stuck-up or pretentious. I'm kinda super biased since I wrote it so I need a fresh pair of eyes to help me out.

Click here to view my CV!

NOTE: I haven't proofread it yet so there's bound to be grammatical errors :p Alsooo, I'm not 100% sure what to call this but CV seems a lot closer to what it is than a resume so I'll stick with that until I get the actual term.

Let me know what you think <3

Neat! I didn't find it pretentious, though I advise you revise it to be more concise. As an example, when you elaborate your communication skills you don't need to mention that you enjoy debating "highly controversial topics such as 'Which goes first, milk or cereal?'". There also seems to be a lot of internal dialogue (primarily your italicized phrases) which makes your CV lively but not very professional, and makes the cv more verbose than it needs to be. I would find it helpful to look up some exemplars perhaps?
Also, your "Pickiness" "weakness" can be rebranded into a positive: thoroughness. I would undelete :rolleyes: your "education" segment since that evidences your strengths, and is typical for a CV. Imo, "What I'm Looking For" should be "Outlook".

Thanks! I did add the not so serious things to make it a bit lighter to read rather than a full on in your face, “here’s what I can do” type of thing.

I’ll switch up the weakness I listed and turn it into a positive thing c:

As for the education though, I’m not sure how relevant my experience there would be.

The CV should be 1 page or less. Never more than 1. It bores the one that hires.
