Resume Tips for Tech Professionals

While there is a consistent demand for talented tech contractors, creating an effective resume allows you to be on the shortlist for companies looking for talents in your field. Elite Search Pros, an expert recruiter for top Microsoft Dynamics 365 talents, shares some tips on creating a resume for tech professionals. 

Customize Resumes for Each Job

With companies receiving large volumes of applications for competitive positions, you should customize the resume you send for each job description. Go over the job posting and use the same keywords in the ad when you write your resume. Reorganize your skills and put the most relevant ones on top.

For instance, if a job posting is looking for someone to help with Microsoft Dynamics implementation, list related skills, or any Microsoft Dynamics training.

Highlight Industry Experience and Niche Sectors

For technical resumes, focus on quantifiable details about your industry experience and the niche sectors you have worked in. Quantifying your contributions while performing your role, by saying things such as “30% decrease in downtime” or “10% decrease in processing time,” adds more credibility to your experience. Don’t forget to include how many clients you’ve worked with and in what capacity.

Put in-Demand IT Skills on Top

Some skills like expertise in Microsoft Business Solutions, SAP, or Java are in demand across industries, more so if it is relevant to the position you are applying for, don’t forget to check the company’s line of business and focus on the talents they would most likely be looking for to give you an idea of which skills to highlight.

Leaping from your old job to a tech job with better pay and growth prospects is possible. A few tweaks could help give your old resume the boost it needs to get noticed.
