This isn't the only way to improve your English - and it definitely shouldn't be the primary way in which you go about improving.
Join clubs and talk to people. Talk to your classmates.
Talk to your friends in English even if they speak your mother tongue. Read English books other than textbooks. Watch TV in English without subtitles in another language. If you're watching TV in another language, try putting on English subtitles. Make an effort to think in English rather than your mother tongue. Hire an ESL teacher to help you if you're really struggling.
Maybe you've already tried some/all of these, but if not, give them a shot. Employers want to see that you can communicate in English before hiring you. Based on how you're writing on here, your English seems good enough that it shouldn't hinder job opportunities, so maybe it's not really your biggest issue/concern right now, but it also really depends on how you communicate verbally - can you understand what people are saying when they talk quickly to you, can you make yourself understood with minimal fuss, that sort of thing.
Also, I agree about tailoring your resume to the job you're applying for, and you really should try to dress up the job descriptions - include solid accomplishments, if possible.
