Resume building for a technical position is somewhat more complicated than building one for a nontechnical position.
For one thing, you don’t know whether the person reviewing your resume will be technical or not.
To play it safe, it is best not to include technological jargon in your resume while keeping the language simple so that any nontechnical HR manager or recruiter can comprehend it.
Another key in this regard lies in the language used by the advertisement. Bring your tone and use of technical terms in line with what the employer has used in the vacancy announcement.
This will not only ensure that your resume will be understood but will also enable the employers to relate your profile to the vacancy quickly.
Below is a sample resume for an entry level IT developer position for your guidance.
