Technology Resume Tips


A technology resume should clearly show a candidate's technical skills. To achieve this, add the Technical Summary or Technical Expertise section to your resume. Further, break this section into sub-categories for a quick scan of your knowledge of programs and applications.
Fortunately, technology resumes have a very simple format. The key to writing an effective resume is to keep in mind the prospective hiring manager or human resources recruiter.

Technical/computer or other qualifications should consist course content in brief, the duration, the institute and also the result. This section could also consist of the projects done including platform used (front-end and backend), which add a value to your resume. You can also mention any other qualifications like personality development, marketing diploma or research study.

For example include the following that is applicable to you:
  1. Technical certifications
  2. Hardware  
  3. Operating systems
  4. Networking/protocols
  5. Programming/languages
  6. Web applications
  7. Database applications
Highlight some of your soft skills in a Career Summary section to add a personality to your technology resume. Remember that your resume should be short enough, yet should be able to effectively showcase your achievements. Do not make it excessively lengthy.

Highlight your Achievements

Show in your technology resume how your performance favoured the company's good. Highlight your initiatives and performances that enhanced efficiency, faster work, monetary savings etc. Focus on your impressive technical projects/achievements.

Keywords

The keywords for any technical resume depend on your job target and experience. Specific programs and applications are often used as keywords in case of a technical resume.

Remember

Always format your experience in a reverse chronological order, from your most recent job to the earlier jobs.

Avoid elementary information like hobbies and interests. Instead, focus on strengths and skills to give a corporate look to the Resume.
