I enjoy building my resumé, mostly because it's a way to express yourself before the recruiter even talks with you. We're extremely lucky to work i...

Thanks a lot for the tips!
I'm currently focusing on finishing a few courses and building up my portafolio in order to change jobs from QA to Android Developer, and this will help me a lot ♥️
Good luck! I’m in iOS and it’s a great field to be in, mobile that is. 😊
Great tips!
Point 7 is super true: when I got out of college, I listed "SharePoint" on my resume because I had worked with it at one of my internships and was still in my "list everything you kind of know because you haven't had a real job yet" phase. As a result, when I got hired at a consultant agency, the project staffer kept trying to put me on random SharePoint projects and it was alarming.
(Not trying to knock those out there who live for SharePoint development, but I certain don't want to do it 🙃)
Point #2 could be confusing for devs who write a lot of CSS 🙃😄
Lol! Oops. 😂😂😂
Keep it though. It's a wonderfully hilarious scenario. Maybe add a footnote 👣
Hah, I thought the same thing.
!importantin c-like languages = not important. In CSS, it means VERY important.I'd love to learn how
!importantin CSS came to be. It's such an oddity in software development.I was wondering... shows my lack of CSS knowledge! That's really funny!
I was thinking the same, while I read that.
Another one of CSS's oddities. 😆
.!important {
display: none !important;
visibility: hidden !important;
opacity: 0 !important;
}
Got it!
At my previous company, the director that hired me told me I had the worst résumé he had seen in a long time. Completely dry, boring, and utterly lacked pizzazz. Conveyed no passion.
Your résumé is your advertising flyer. You are the product. And what you are selling your services as a skilled software developer.
So, you really need to express yourself... sell yourself... while also making it pass the HR filters.
Good luck, go get ’em!
Also, networking and socializing can be very helpful in finding the right fit for both you and your potential future employer. In our industry, there are a lot of us who are very shy, very introverted. So try to polish your people skills, because about half of the work of software development is actually people skills, communication skills, and team skills. Even for the I.C. (stands either for "individual contributor" or "interchangeable cog") positions.
Abbbbbsolutely!
Good tips. One more to add to that basket is to keep your resume just one (!) sheet long. I would also recommend to check the fullstackresume.com service where you could build your Full Stack Resume in less than 30 seconds. Instead of writing all the content by yourself the service will generate it for you based on your unique experience using the minimalistic A/B tested resume template!
I wrote my resume as a rather small, self-contained HTML file ;-)
LaTeX + Continuous Integration is the way to go :D

Honestly I completely dropped languages completely on my last version of my resume. I followed Ken Coleman's resume guide and it was a hit. Custom make your resume for the job, tell them why you want to be there, how you can add value and get a killer referral. I also went to their website and pulled their brand colors for all of the color (which is very minimal.)

On the other side of the fence I haven't been in charge of hiring, but I have been asked to pull a couple of resumes to the top of a big pile. One thing that I look for and was rarely found on a resume, was things you have actually built. Things that show me that you know how to actually think and solve problems with the tools that you are touting yourself on. This can be from past job experience, a side project, an assignment, anything that shows me that you can solve problems. The list of languages was the last thing that I looked at.
Thanks for the useful tips!
A few days ago I decided to put my CV on GitHub and as a result this project's been born github.com/sneas/cv-project. Feel free to use.
