    First thought... too wordy... way too wordy. You are misundestanding the pupose of a CV. Its not to convey an indepth account of your work experiences, it's purpose is to offer a succinct, easy to scan read, top line set of bullet points of dry data.

    Its a common misconception that its good to put as much 'helpful information' down as possible. It ensures you go to the bottom of the pile though becuase nobody wants that much information from you.

    To make matters worse, in my opinion you've made the text almost illegible too with your choice of a whote on gray serif font, quite tightly tracked. If you are going to do type white out you have to open the tracking to account for the white's optical bleed and it shouldn't be so small either.

    Sorry to be so negative but the masses of unreadible type were the most dominant thing so I have nothing to say about the work, which was a bit lost amongst all the info.
