On a related note, I have a friend who is a tech recruiter and one of the things that he mentioned (which I attribute to helping me get a job) is to ALWAYS put as many tech jargon related to the commpany's job requirement. A lot of resume goes to an automated filing system before it even reaches to the recruiter or hiring manager. These machines sort out resume by searching those keywords. Of course, not ALL companies have an automated system like this, but a lot of big companies do.

Some people dislike the use of tech jargon in their resume, but the important thing is to get your foot in the door and get that interview.

P.S. If you put those tech jargon in your resume, at least have some basic understanding of what those are.

I hate this but it's true. When I find a spot I want to apply to, I'll look over my resume and see if I can line it up better with the job descriptions.

I was actually thinking about talking resumes in this post but I think that'll be my next one.
