The CV looks nice. However, IMHO, giving your self a "X out of X" score for a specific area is highly unprofessional, and it doesn't give much information regarding your skills. I'd rather explain what experiences I have within certain areas.

I would personally change this scoring system to the industry accepted HR approved score of "experience".
