See if you can get hold of a relative/friend/acquaintance who has experience writing, and preferrably reviewing, CVs and also knows you well enough to give you advice which is relevant to your specific situation. Good luck with your career :)

What I really hate doing is the wordy paragraph where you try to sell yourself. :ugh: :) Some help me :( This is a new job role so overselling for my under-achievement is not wise. Should I draw on transferable skills and traits?
