IT & Software Development Resumes

You’re good at writing code; you shouldn’t have to waste a lot of time figuring out how to write a resume as well.

Every software engineer worth their salt hates messy spaghetti code. Likewise, recruiters hate messy, poorly structure resumes. They expect everything to be just right, so they can read quickly and easily. Here’s how to do it right:

• Set up the right resume layout to maximize readability.

• Start with your work experience section, focusing on achievements, not just duties.

• Get your education section right, adding extra details if you lack experience.

• Compile a tailored skills section with a mix of skill types.

• Add relevant extra sections.

• Finish where your resume begins with a snappy summary or objective.

• Throw in a well-written cover letter.

Remember to include a mix of soft and hard skills. Computer skills, IT skills and programming languages are obvious choices. But don’t neglect soft skills like interpersonal communication. It’s well established that soft skills are often overlooked in the tech industry, so make sure you address that need.
