Writing a Technical Resume Every technical resume should focus on two key sections: the Skills section, and the Professional Experience section. Below are recommendation and tips on writing these sections. SKILLS SECTION First of all, make sure you have a Skills section within your resume. In this section, you should list all languages, platforms, products and tools you have had experience with. For each item, mention a degree of knowledge or the context in which you learned/used it. For example, say:
Be sure to include all buzzwords and variants of such words within your Skills section. This is important because many placement firms use automated software that scans your resume for particular skills or keywords that their clients specify. For example, a company looking to hire a web developer may search a database of 5,000 resumes for the keyword HTML. It is to your advantage, therefore, to include as many such keywords as relevant.
For example, instead of saying: Say something like:
Omit Professional Experience that is irrelevant to the
position you are applying for. In particular, there is no need to mention
projects or jobs that you held over 10 years ago unless the item significantly
adds to your resume. Elaborate on the jobs and projects that are most relevant
to the position you are currently seeking. |
