ANSWER: Dear Syed:
You need to call the Employment History, Professional Experience. You don't have enough detail under ABC Limited. The employer has no real idea of what you did or your achievements. Also, take out your personal profile. This is not done anymore.
Also, if you had any internship experience, you need to include it.
Warmly, R. Butler
