Can someone help me review and fix my CV for Middle East market.
I have around 10 years of consulting experience in India and my CV usually did fetch me interviews in India quite easily but somehow all i seem to get is automated rejections or ghosting here.
Would like to know from folks here on what i can fix in my CV to become desirable in the Middle East consulting market.

What are your thoughts on invoking the rule of sequestration at a deposition in a case in state court? I have heard some attorneys argue that it is inapplicable, while others have argued that it does apply.

And does your answer change if the "extra" person is adverse to the deponent? For instance, a corporate plaintiff having two reps at the defendant's deposition.
