Personal or impersonal in a technical resume
In CVs or on Linkedin profiles there are often spaces dedicated to past experience.
In those sections, one is supposed to describe what work he/she did and what skills he/she acquired on previous workplaces/projects.
In this context, is it better to describe the experience in a personal or impersonal way?
A personal way (e.g. first person) underlines the subjects:
Project X
While assigned to Project X, I've learned how to mix dangerous chemical ingredients in a cauldron to bring out their hidden potential. Eventually, along with my team, we pushed further the research on superhuman abilities.
An impersonal way, to my understanding, underlines the skills acquired:
Project X
Manufacturing and treating of dangerous chemical ingredients. Testing of superhuman abilities in a controlled environment. Eating of snacks in the down times.

Depends where the resume is going. Most resumes are (initially) read by software, not humans. One advantage of b) is it's 30% more concise (36% if you remove the superfluous "of"s and "in downtime").

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 who'll take a look for you.

Project X
I had several duties on this project. My primary responsibility was mixing dangerous chemicals in a cauldron for various experiments, including an attempt to liquefy kryptonite. In my second year on this project, I joined a team devising new procedures for testing the limits of Spiderman's strength, and how far Batman can throw a Batarang. We also attempted to test the upper limit of how much marijuana Snoop Dogg can smoke, however, due to experimental design errors, we failed to find a definitive limit.
I have read many resumes; and I find this "formal personal" approach the easiest to read.

The personal style has one big advantage, especially for people who are a bit shy about "selling themselves".
If your sentences start with "I", they are (by definition) about what you actually did.
In the impersonal style, it's easy to slip into describing what your team, or your employer, did (e.g. they made $$$$ selling this wonderful world-leading product that was developed while you worked there), but missing out on what you personally contributed to that success story - and your personal contribution is the only thing that readers of your CV are interested in.
In the OP's examples, the "impersonal" version doesn't actually say anything about what the OP. For all the reader knows, he/she just cleaned the office floor once a week - and someone processing a stack of job applicants, who only has an hour to scan through 50 such CV's isn't going to see anything there that grabs his/her attention.
(If you think processing 50 or even 100 CVs in a hour "isn't fair" on the applicants - well, life isn't fair, and that's often what happens.)

A common convention is to use the personal approach but skip most first-person pronouns to avoid repeating them too much:
- Determined how to mix dangerous chemical ingredients in a cauldron to bring out their hidden potential.

Too many “I”s is unpleasantly repetitive and can sound vain.

@VilleNiemi Depends on how exactly it’s organized. If it’s bullet points, then not starting each one with “I” is certainly the way to go. If it’s a short text, a different approach could make sense. Either way a possibility of having too many “I”s is something to keep in mind.

Yeah, I could see it working with bullet point. And you are absolutely correct about avoiding too many of any word in a fairly condensed text. Your answer just doesn't make those valid points clear IMO. Maybe edit your comment into the answer?
