#2: Initial revision
While I get the feeling this might get deemed "opinion based" I've reviewed a few hundred technical CVs in my time (for my sins) so here goes nothing! **Personal** Use of "I.." or "My role.." type statements a) humanize you so the person reading the CV can see you as a human being rather than just the CV and b) they tie the achievements to **you**. Impersonal does emphasize the skills but that's what a Skills section is for. When describing the _experience_ you want to emphasize the person getting that experience (i.e. the person whose CV it is). **PS:** If you ever want a friendly eye casting over your CV there's usually someone in [Workplace SE chat](https://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/3060/the-water-cooler) who'll take a look for you.
