IT resume question

[karloco]

how do you create a resume specifically for IT?

like how would i order/classify my diff. IT skills (ex. skills in DB, programming lang, web devt, softwares,OS)?

anybody have a sample?

[bachelor_zone]

ganito arrangement ng resume ko

1.personal info-name,address,contact number,e-mail
2.education-course n major
3.experience
4.hardware proficiency
5.software proficiency
6.other professional skills
7.interest.
8.seminars
7.reference

so far effective naman sa tingin ko kasi nakakuha ako ng job dami pang tumatawag sa akin.

goodluck na lang.bro.

I suggest you use the following format:

1. Personal Information
2. Job Objective
3. Summary of Experience
4. Work Experience Details
5. Educational Background
6. Training/Seminars
7. Other Skills
8. Outside Interests
9. References

The reason why I have educational background to the end is you would want to emphasize your work experience more rather than the school you came from or the course you took, especially if you're applying abroad.

If you're applying in the Philippines and come from a prominent school, you may want to move this up, say, after job objective.

The summary of experience should depend on the type of job you're applying for - give prominence to those experience that are more applicable than others. It should not be as simple as listing all your software and hardware skills. You have to make it appear that you thought about writing your resume and not just submitting a generic one.

I also suggest writing it in paragraph/essay rather than bullet format. It implies that you have good written communication skills.

Sa akin naman hindi ko na nilalagay yung job objective.

Kaya naman nsa taas kaagad yun SOftware and hardware proficency mo. Para makita agad kung ano alam mo... hindi na yun maghahanap pa sila sa ibang page.pero i detail mo.. sabihin mo 2 yrs mo na ginagamit yan.. etc....ganun din sa hardware..
Kung sakali ako employer.. makikita ko agad yung qualifications mo.. hindi na ako maghahanap sa work exp mo.

Tama si the_Bugs,

Kung IT resume, syempe after ng pangalan and contact nos.
Katakot-takot na Sofware/hardware knowledge na agad para di mag-aksaya ng panahon ang mag-ievaluate ng resume.

Kung alam mo ang hihanap na isang company iyun ang dapat mauna. Haimbawa Web Development comoany ang aaplayan mo dapat mauna iyung mga Internet Developing tools sa resume mo.

[bachelor_zone]

Tama yung mga nasa taas.Kung ano kailangan nila yun ang una mo ipakita.Wag mo na silang pahirapang magbasa sa sangkatutak na kaekekan baka di nila mapagtyagang basahin yung resume mo sa haba nung essay na sinabi mo.

Kung saan ka magaling yun ang ipagmalaki mo kasi tatanungin yan sa interview.Kelangang kaya mong panindigan mga sinabi mo sa resume para di ka mapahiya o magmukhang katawatawa sa interview.

Kung mag-aaply ka as editor ng magasin o dyaryo yun bigyan mo sila nobela na resume hehehehe.Sa dami ng binabasa nilang resume walang tyaga hr personnel na basahin lahat yan.

Sa office namin cartoon cartoon na resume nakatambak sa tingin mo babasahin pa nila lahat yun.Siguro susulyapan lang.

[the_BuGs]

Yeah kasi minsan tambak ang resume lalo na sa mga IT kung yung software and hardware proficiency mo eh nsa taas na nababasa agad ng HR o mga IT mgr yung qaualifications mo.

Pero kung ang aaplyan mo e relative mo ay isang top official....wala na sabesabe....sulat mo name ng relative mo at position niya sa unahan ng page bago yung qualification mo...tapos sabihin mo recomended ka niya! pasok ka agad! ganon lang yon!

:D:D:D:D:D:D

Brad nde na applicant yung naglalagay nun... yung mismong top official na naglalagay nun ehehehehe... kadalasan nkasulat sa Post It at ididikit sa resume mo eheheheh pwahahahahhaahhahahaha

[bachelor_zone]

actually nangyari yan sa former employer ko.

kasunod ko nag-apply pero diff. position.

nakalagay sa resume nya. "HE MUST BE HIRED"(in red ink).Tapos may pirma ng isa sa mga board of director.

takot lang nila kung di sya natanggap hehehehe.

I remember instant sysad sya ng domino server namin.

yung dating naghahandle ng domino naging assistant na lang nya.waaahhh

kawawang nilalang.

[VINCEsanity]

basta ko, happy na sa current IT work ko :p

[VINCEsanity]

basta be humble enuf :p

The samples are all okay, IMHO. The thing is, make sure you stress your strengths well enough, and that your areas of expertise will be of use to the company. Knowledgeable in Oracle 8i and proficient in MS Word won't be as appealing as Knowledgeable in MS Word and proficient in Oracle 8i. Oh, and keep it short. I know for a fact that HR people normally don't go beyond the second page... it's too boring and not worth the trouble. That's why we were taught how to organize the resume in such a way that everything will fit in two pages.

:cool:

[Jonga]

issit ok to make 2 kinds, a 1 page resume and a comprehensive resume. sa one page rez ay papakita mo lang yung kelan nilang malaman, tapos dun din nakalagay yung 'refer to my comprehensive rez for more detail'.?

[Hitokiri_Drizzt]

Basta- be sure na kung ano man ang ilagay mo sa resume mo, kaya mong panindigan.

Ika nga- pag nilagay mong "Knowledgeable in <skill/technology>"- be sure na talagang alam mo yun (tipong di lang natutunan sa seminar- or sa isang subject)

Remember: Anything you put in your resume can and will be used against you ;)
