Tech professionals are in high demand. But with so much talent competing for the best jobs, a standard resume won&#8217;t cut it. So what are recruiters looking for in a tech resume, and what\u2019s the best way to highlight your skills?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A tech resume should be more than a document listing your skills and experience in bullet points. With hundreds of applications to wade through, recruiters often only have a few minutes to get a sense of your personality, creativity, and ability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For tech-newcomers who have recently graduated from a tech bootcamp, your resume is also a chance to show off your transferable skills\u2014and demonstrate how you\u2019ll apply them in your new role.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re staring at a blank page, unsure of where to start, you\u2019re not alone. So we\u2019re here with tips, tricks, and examples to help you get your foot through your dream company\u2019s door.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what we\u2019ll cover:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong><a href=\"#tech-resume-dos-and-donts\">Tech resume dos and don\u2019ts\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong><a href=\"#building-and-formatting-a-tech-resume\">Building and formatting a tech resume<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong><a href=\"#how-to-highlight-tech-skills-on-your-resume\">How to highlight tech skills on your resume<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong><a href=\"#tech-resume-examples\">Tech resume examples<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><strong><a href=\"#final-thoughts\">Final thoughts<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let\u2019s get into it!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tech-resume-dos-and-donts\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Tech resume dos and don\u2019ts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating a tech resume can be a nerve-racking endeavor, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/careerfoundry.inbearbeitung.de\/en\/blog\/career-change\/career-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">especially for career changers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In the absence of years of experience in the field, your resume is often your one shot to convince recruiters you\u2019re the right fit for their company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be challenging to showcase everything you have to offer in a one-page document, but a tech resume doesn\u2019t have to be all-singing, all-dancing. It simply has to quickly and efficiently communicate what you bring to the table.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also important to note your resume often won\u2019t even be seen by a human first. With the high amount of resumes being uploaded to job application sites, many companies rely on automatic AI software to filter the resumes before they go to hiring managers or recruiters. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>If your resume doesn\u2019t include keywords, isn\u2019t readable, or isn\u2019t formatted correctly<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014the hiring managers may never see it. It\u2019s a harsh reality, but it\u2019s important to know what you\u2019re up against before you start firing resumes off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help get your application seen by the right people, let\u2019s go through some quick-fire dos and don\u2019ts:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tailor it to specific companies.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When recruiters scan a tech resume, they look for the specific keywords listed in the job description. To boost your chances of standing out, tweak your resume for each application and make sure these keywords are highlighted.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Talk about tools.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In today\u2019s remote-first tech landscape, proficiency with certain tools is a distinct advantage. You\u2019ll want to highlight your stack on your resume, and your proficiency with more common remote working tools like Jira, Hubspot, Asana, and so on.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Get friends, family, and colleagues to proofread it.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Nothing says sloppy more than a typo or grammatical error.

Ultimately, it\u2019s these that recruiters are most interested in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s definitely a right and wrong way to showcase these. More than simple bullet points suggesting you\u2019re proficient in X skill, recruiters want the proof in the pudding. Provide evidence of how you\u2019ve put said skills into practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are also two different types of skills to highlight, hard skills and soft skills. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><b>Hard skills<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> refer to the technical skills you need to actually perform the role&#8217;s basic duties.

While the word &#8220;soft&#8221; might suggest these skills are not as important to tech recruiters\u2014many of these soft skills are actually in incredibly high demand. Your ability to be a great team player or manager could be the difference between getting an interview and being overlooked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So you\u2019ll want to highlight both your hard and soft skills\u2014especially if you\u2019re a career changer on the hunt for your first tech role.
