Well for starters I would fix the work history section where you say you were an "internee" at Pakistan International Airlines, since "internee" means "a person who is confined as a prisoner, especially for political or military reasons." - probably not the right impression to give a potential employer... Intern is the word you were looking for.

Fixed. Thanks for pointing out.

What criteria should be used for the critique?

Basically, I have created this as a substitute for a resume. I would like suggestions on what to include to make me more likely to be hired.

In the US, the purpose of a resume is to get an interview and the standard is short and to the point. That's where I am coming from.

Think of how much work the website generates for the person treating it as a resume. There's processing the navigation, clicking links, trying to figure out what is relevant.

The site is more of a work sample than a resume and those serve different purposes.

Of course other cultures may have different standards.
