This is important to be added but not as important as ur experience,so if the cv is long try to minimize it put ur experience if u have any and ur qualifications...

Here are few advices:

1. You should have only one CV, and customize the cover letter based on the company you are applying for, emphasizing the experience you want to highlight based on the position you are applying for

which leads to:

2. Do NOT use any emotional or subjective sentences in your CV like: " my programming skills are also remarkable"
I would even omit this whole sentence:

They helped improve my programming skills and provide me with practical and valuable experience in this field.

Those sentences should rather be part of the cover letter.

3. Use the same style throughout the CV and stick to it. For example, all the experience will start by a date (or period) then with a title (job title) followed by a passive sentences (omitting the "I did, I developed...").

4. LAST BUT NOT LEAST: spell check, spell check, proof check...

Hope this helps,
Good luck
