Are You Wasting Space on Your IT Resume?
Does your IT resume say that you’re a fast learner, a great team player, or that you have an exemplary work ethic? You may think you’re attracting IT recruiters and IT staffing firms, but you’re really just wasting space on your resume. Why?
Particularly when it comes to attracting IT recruiting agencies and IT staffing companies, you want to make sure everything you list on your resume is strong evidence of your value as an employee. When you list soft skills or call yourself something subjective like “creative” or a “perfectionist”, you’re not giving concrete evidence of your candidacy. You’re just listing how you perceive yourself, which is pretty irrelevant to hiring managers and technical recruiters trying to fill IT jobs. Focus on listing your technical skills and your accomplishments. These are what IT recruiting firms and IT staffing agencies love to see. You can elaborate on more subjective traits once you get your new IT recruiting companies on the phone!
