Top five tips to create the best tech resume

HomeResourcesBlogTop five tips to create the best tech resume
January 31, 2022 | ITIL, Soft Skills, Software, Technology, UI & UX
Read Time: 08:00

A strong resume can get you through the doors.

A resume is now a number one requirement of employers in the job market. They want to meet you – on paper – before investing their time in an interview. And the way you present your resume to that employer can make a significant impact.

From data science positions to UX design jobs, the tech industry is highly featured on the list of high-paying positions. There is huge demand. And since the competition for these positions is fierce, you must put yourself in the best possible position by presenting an immaculate tech resume that gets the attention of a hiring manager or recruiter.

You can’t compete without a resume, and a poor resume can swiftly remove you before you have even had a chance to compete. Having a smart resume communicates what value you could hold for a potential employer.

This blog will help you create a tech resume that stands out, whether you’re a software engineer, a digital marketer, or a data analyst.

Choose the suitable template for your tech resume

Finding the resume format that highlights your experience positively can make a massive difference in the recruiting process. Whether you believe it or not – “first impressions are lasting impressions” is accurate. And your resume is the first impression a potential employer has of you as a professional.

Therefore, choosing the right tech resume template that highlights what you bring to the table is necessary. The best format may vary based on the individual and the job they’re going for, but you should ensure that your tech resume template fits the three requirements:

  • A layout that is simple to read
  • A style that is appropriate for the employment opportunity
  • Your experience is effectively and efficiently illustrated

You can add your name, contact information, personal summary, education, and relevant skills. While adding all this information, you can incorporate any projects you have previously worked on and professional references.

It’s also important to mention “when” you acquired those skills or experience. Stating the years or time will help the employer better understand your career path.

Begin with a personal summary that makes an impact

While some job seekers choose not to include a personal statement, a good resume should also include a strong career goal or personal description that explains why you are looking for specific employment. If you’re seeking a back-end position but have much expertise in front-end jobs, the reader will want to know why. That explanation can be found in your professional aim. Consider these brief descriptions, which are only a few phrases long, to be a picture of who you are professional.

Remember not to be vague. If you include a summary section, make sure it’s filled with important achievements (backed up by actual figures), not broad statements like your detail-oriented attitude, great work ethic, and so on. This section has been renamed “Summary and Key Accomplishments” by some.

Concentrate on your accomplishments

It’s a good idea to tweak your resume based on where your knowledge sits. Your accomplishments and project-based abilities will most likely feature in your resume if you’ve recently graduated from high school.

However, if you’ve been in the profession for a few years, you should start with your work experience, career milestones, and on-the-job abilities. The employer wants to know whatever you can accomplish for them, so highlighting the work you’ve done for previous companies is a terrific method to help them picture you working for them.

Focus less on your previous job’s day-to-day tasks. Avoid broad statements such as “improved consumer happiness” or “increased business revenues.” Emphasis more on what you did, with an emphasis on measurable achievements (for example, boosted app sales revenues by 15%, developed software to reduce costs by 10%, etc.).

Read the job description and edit your resume

The days of submitting one generic resume to dozens of employers are over. Each resume should be tailored to the exact job posting and employer.

Read the job advertisement carefully to determine what the employer is looking for, and then customize your tech resume accordingly. Please select the right keywords and include them in your resume. Many organizations use computer systems to scan through resumes before a person reads them, so selecting the appropriate keywords will help you get past this first screening.

Look at the job description for the role you’re interested in while listing your expertise. Customize the skills column to reflect how your previous experience allows you to fit in that particular role. Although you may not have worked in the specific profile in question, some of the abilities you’ve acquired over your career, such as learning a coding language, creating training software, and using database frameworks, are likely transferable to the position you’re looking for.

This requires a bit more effort, but the potential return on investment is enormous.

Don’t be too technical

Technical words, sales, marketing terminology, and acronyms are different in every organization. They may be common at one organization and strange to recruitment agencies or hiring managers at other organizations. Use industry-recognized vocabulary and clarify anything that employers might find perplexing on your resume to make it globally understandable. With that, also keep the grammatical errors in check.

Get Certified in ITIL to get a career boost

The most important reason for having an ITIL certification on your resume is due to the development of Human Resource systems. Instead of emailing your resume directly to a hiring manager, it is frequently thrown into an HR database, where it may be accessed by performing a keyword search. As a result, if you don’t have ITIL on your tech resume, you’re more likely to be lost in the flow.
