Resume preparation for software jobs

Use plain text when you are sending resumes through email.

√ Attach a covering letter it really impresses and makes you look traditionally formal.

Yes, even if you are sending your CV through email send a covering letter.

Check list

Start with an objective or summary, for instance, “Working as a Senior Database administrator for more than 4 years. Implemented quality web based application.

Follow the industry’s best practices and adhered and implemented processes, which enhanced the quality of technical delivery. Pledge to deliver the best technical solutions to the industry.”

√ Specify your Core strengths at the start of the resume by which the interviewer can make a quick decision are you eligible for the position.

This is also a good position to specify your objective or position which makes it clear to the interviewer that should he call you for an interview. For instance, if you are looking for senior position specify it explicitly ‘looking for this job profile’. Any kind of certification like MCP, MCSD etc you can make it visible in this section.


Once you have specified briefly your goals and what you have done its time to specify what type of technology you have worked with. For instance RDBMS, TOOLS, Languages, Web servers, process (Six sigma, CMMI).

√ After that you can make a run through of your experience company wise that is what company you have worked with, year / month joining and year / month left.

This will give an overview to the interviewer what type of companies you have associated your self.


PROJECT DETAILS:

Project Name / Client name

√ Number of team members.

√ Time span of the project.

√ Tools, language, RDBMS and technology used to complete the project.

√ Brief summary of the project.


SUMMARY:

Finally comes your education and personal details.

√ Trying for onsite, do not forget to mention your passport number.

√ Some guys tend to make there CV large and huge. I think an optimal size should be not more than 4 to 5 pages.

√ Do not mention your salary in CV. You can talk about it during interview with HR or the interviewer.

√ When you are writing your summary for project make it effective by using verbs like managed a team of 5 members, architected the project from start to finish etc. It brings huge weight.

This is essential very essential take 4 to 5 Xerox copies of your resume you will need it now and then.

√ Just in case take at least 2 passport photos with you. You can escape it but many times you will need it.

√ Carry all your current office documents specially your salary slips and joining letter.
