Free Resume Examples Articles : Resume Writing Tips for Computer Software Jobs by Free4Resume

Below is ten tips for resume writing for computer jobs.

1. If possible, try to limit you resume in one page. Just show your highlight story you have done in the past.

2. Select the type of resume layout that suitable with your skills and working experience. Some success job may be emphasized.

3. Your resume has to show information related to position to which you are applying, such as computer engineer, software engineer, programmer, or system analyst.

4. Fragmented sentences can be used in your resume, such as “Working for ABC Company in Java programming for 5 years.” Or “Implemented successfully 3 Oracle ERP projects in manufacturing industry.” Or “Designed SOA framework for marketing business processes”.

5. Explain briefly about the companies that you are working or worked for, such as “ABC Company, one of the software development firms in Australia, specializing in Java and .NET Technology”. Or “XYZ Corporation, an Indian company, providing database professional services, covering design, installation, migration, performance tuning, and onsite support for IBM DB2 Database and Oracle Database software”.

6. Underline results you have done, such as “Achieved selling quota for $10 million in Business Intelligence (BI) software in year 2007”. Or “Completed two Oracle Database Migration projects in banking industry”.

7. Your resume should be short and clear. Do not use of confusing words, except computer or software technical terms, such “Business Intelligence Software”, “Enterprise Content Management” or software technology vendors, for examples: IBM, SAS, Oracle, Web Service, J2EE, Java, or Microsoft.

8. Some new abbreviations should be defined in your resume, such as BI (Business Intelligence), FPM (Financial Performance Management), or SaaS (Software as a Services), or SOA (Service Oriented Architecture).

9. Referrers can be informed if request. However, the well-known person in the computer industry will provide benefits and credits.

10. Utilize free resume samples and templates in computer software position. Review and modify the free resume examples based on your personal information, skills and working experience in computer industry.
