How to write a tech job resume?

Any person in the technology industry will have a wide range of knowledge and skills in the field of software development, mathematics, computer science and other analytical departments. You must be given the responsibility for creating suitable practical, technical and efficient programs.

With your expertise in a wide area of subjects and technical knowledge, you must be in a dilemma of 'what to include' and 'what to leave out' in the resume of your job. Read on to know how to tackle these problems.

Here are some time tested hacks to make your resume stand out from the rest and help you get that position you are aiming for.

Keep your resume to ONE PAGE

If we haven't stressed this enough. It is imperative to limit your resume to a page. This is because your hiring manager will be flooded with dozens of requests for a limited job opening. The second page of the resume won't even make it to the manager's attention.

Therefore a one-page resume with your qualifications and experience highlighted is ideal. A good tip to follow is to reduce the length of your work experience. Do not write multiple bullet points of every position you held in the past. This will also give you content to talk about in your interview.

Be objective about your technical skills.

You must be very accurate with your skills. Make sure that the skills you mention are relevant for the job. If you have knowledge in Laravel PHP, but only mention PHP, the hiring manager will not know about your skills.

A resume is used to get you one specific position in an organisation, not to list every qualification and experience.

Show what you achieved in your skills.

It is best if you can quantify your skills using a figure if possible. Show how your techniques save the cost to the company. This demonstrates your value to the employer.

For eg. Designed a customized accounting app for the company, which apart from being easy saved an average of Rs. 60000 per year.

Such examples will display your ability to solve practical problems and showcase your talent in taking initiative and also management skills.

Target your application to each job application.

A one size fits all approach is inappropriate and disastrous if you are seeking different job positions in different companies.
You must research for your job and customize your resume accordingly.

You must be aware of the products sold in the company, their business model, the problem they solve, do you sympathize with the company policies, the technology behind the design of the products, how do you fit in, what value would you add to the company, what growth prospects will the company get you.
