Hi there,

I'm actively in the search of a job, appreciate input:  Resume2013.rtf (49.24K)
Number of downloads: 320

I've also began putting in linkage for my linkedin profile, so suggestions for that are welcome too.

Thanks!

I'm looking to apply for a Software Engineer position an instructor from my previous college informed me about. Updated my Resume after a year or so and wondered if anyone here would mind reviewing and making any recommendations?



Thanks!

We've talked about resume formats in the past, but after being asked to reformat my resume by the new company I work for, I want to see everyone elses resume.

Here's my new resume:

Share yours, maybe someone here will see it and hire you, but either way you'll get to see others resumes and maybe improve your own.

How did this resume work for you? Do you still live in NM? I live in the desert of Tularosa! I'll upload my resume soon. I do have to make an entirely new one...

It is interesting to see how people setup their resumes. This leads me to a question

When specifiying skills/languages do you put down skills that you know but haven't done professionally? Do you include languages learned in school?

I tend not to put down things I haven't been paid to do.
What about you guys/gals?

That is an interesting question. I used to put any language I'd ever gone past a "Hello World" app with but now I limit myself to anything that I've designed and written a complete application with. So, for example, I include Java but leave out Actor (a really old language for making Windows 3.1 applications) because I never really wrote anything useful with it.

I personally dont have that one particular resume.
I always try to vary and edit each resume to match the specific offered position.
If i.e. I apply as a .NET developer I´m not going to mention any line of code I´ve written in Java or PHP.
In that case I´m going to focus on the .net related topics and surpress detail in other topics.

[modi123_1]

Seems like a poor idea to not mention anything about your other languages you know. Sure less focus, but as a hiring manager I would have positive feels for a person is capable of knowing other things than the one specific language, or framework, mentioned in the hiring post.

[errraddicator]

You´re right. Of course I mention all the languages I´ve used in my professional environment over the years.
It would be a shame and waste to make them a secret.

But I dont present all of them in an equal way. Thats my point.
I set priorities to the languages that match the particular job and decrease the level of detail as it´s relation to that job drifts apart.

So - coming back to the resume - I don´t have that one resume for all jobs.
One resume would have 5 parts of C# and each 1 part for SQL, Java, PHP, Delphi.
For a different vacancy the parts would change and C# only got 1 part whereas SQL would increase.
And so on

I am new on this site and stumble upon this topic.
I've attached my resume for professional tips and advice. I graduate with a BS as of May 2015.
Let me know what you think please?

Have to summarize my skills in less than 1000 words for an application that doesn't accept generic resumes:

I have 25 years of data center experience maintaining highly trafficked, uptime-sensitive webhosting and CMS platforms built on Debian Linux, Apache, Apache Tomcat, HAProxy, MySQL, and Hippo CMS, and in securing, monitoring, and troubleshooting virtualized cloud-based services. I am well versed with the languages C++, Java, Python, PHP, SQL, assembly, shell scripting and development tools such as Javascript, Visual Basic, HTML/CSS, Apache, cPanel, and Hippo CMSS. My duties have included installs, configurations, and maintenance of enterprise servers, RAID arrays, routers, switches, firewalls, VPN concentrators, RADIUS, iSCSI SANs, spam filters, and IP-enabled power. I have a love of PICAXE, EEPROM, Matlab, Arduino, and digital circuit design, and can assist in deciphering issues with customized legacy solutions. My experience working with VoIP, SIP, QoS, Asterisk, legacy PBX, legacy PSTN switching, makes me a resident telecom expert. From simple email hosting, to complex site-to-site replication I can provide comprehensive solutions quickly without complication.

Any suggestions on how to trim this down?

Tool it to what you believe the company wants.

Unless the job you are applying for has a requirement lines like "I have a love of PICAXE, EEPROM, Matlab, Arduino, and digital circuit design, " can be chucked.

Is client side languages, or vb6, really needed or even classified as 'development tools'? Chuck: "development tools such as Javascript, Visual Basic, HTML/CSS,"

I think "... I can provide comprehensive solutions." sounds better than "...I can provide comprehensive solutions quickly without complication.".

It is hard to get rid of things you write yourself code or prose! Always helps to get another set of eyes took that concise suggestion got it below 1000 ty

Ahhh what was I thinking... there always is the chance of complication and tardiness doesn't have good optics to make such guarantees.
