The CV looks just awful. I wouldn’t want to work with someone who showed me such a resume. Absolute buzzword spaghetti. The colors and the graphics just scream I peaked in high school.

From my experience people with such resume are low performers with focus on marketing themselves.

My initial thought on seeing this was “this is the kind of flashy, muddled, confusing output I would get if I hired you? Pass.”.

People very often forget a resume is a form of work product. If after reading it you get a bad sense about the person, or still have no idea what they are good at, then it’s a bad CV.

With of course the caveat that a CV is a marketing tool.
