Java Developer Resume

A Java developer is a specialist programmer who uses their knowledge to test and develop software using the Java programming language. Java developers use their knowledge to create, adapt, monitor and repair software across a variety of platforms, and Java developers often work closely with web developers and designers and software engineers to create fully integrated programs and applications for their clients.

You’re a Java developer. You’re smart. You develop complexities. But when it comes to writing a resume that shows off your talents, you’re lost.

Creating a resume isn’t the easiest of tasks, especially for a job as specific as Java developer.

Resume basically outlines your skills and training, work experiences, and educational background, and, most importantly, the accomplishments you have made with past employers. It also informs the hiring committee of your career objective and communicates concisely the benefits you will bring to the job if hired.

Some common resume ethic one should maintain is as follows:

  • Margins – One-inch margins on all sides
  • Font – Pick a professional font that stands out.
  • Font Size – Use a font size of 11-12pt for normal text and 14-16pt for headers
  • Line Spacing – Use 1.0 or 1.15 line spacing
  • Resume Length – Don’t go over the 1-page limit.

What Not To Do In Your Resume

On the contrary, one must keep in mind of what NOT to do in your resume, which follows:

  • Too much information
  • Spelling mistakes and grammatical errors
  • Inaccuracies about your qualifications or experience
  • Unnecessary personal information
  • Your age
  • Negative comments about a former employer
  • Details about your hobbies and interests
  • Passive language
  • Tiny text
  • Miscellaneous extra content
