OK, now I get it. I make "direct translations" from Finnish, so my phrases are sometimes with Finnish idioms. I think thats what it is, the word order in a few places is "French" , is it possible? :lol:

Maybe... :ochesey: I have had quite some interesting experiences with some Finnish students. We were a bunch of French student and only one Finnish (they are called kummi students) and she was talking a the time (we were quite tired). And after a while she stopped and said : "I don't understand, you are French, you should be speaking a the time and I am supposed to be quiet..."
Power of stereotypes :ochesey:

If you realy want someone who hires to read your CV; dont ask them to go to a webpage as even a click if difficult in terms of thinking about it..
instead a Text document attached inline (along with a cover) might elicit a better response and actually make the person read it..

I would say one of most important properties in job hunter are the passion and motivation. As soon as you are not complete dummy passion and motivation are getting very important. You CV should be distinctive from crowd. On interview you should always show your motivation to be in the company, your willing for prospective job.

Remember, person who reads your CV is a human first. Social engineering is not least factor of the success to pass the barrier.

I'm not sure who about internship position, but full blown applicants should have they CV proofreader and well polished. You can pay $40+ for CV proofreading service. I strongly believe it's worth of doing
