I Write IT Resumes That Prove What You Can Do

Your IT resume has to speak to both technical hiring authorities and to HR

That's true whether you're an engineer, an architect, an IT manager or director—or a CIO / CTO / CISO.

And it's not easy.

Because your IT resume needs to have the technical detail that's going to convince technical stakeholders, including the CIO, CTO, or IT Director, that you're the candidate to call for an interview—while not being too dense, too tech heavy, or too full of jargon for HR and business decision makers to get through.

That's why your IT resume needs to demonstrate your technical chops and specialties to prove that you can get the job done—while also communicating your problem-solving approach, your ability to work with other technical professionals, end-users, and business stakeholders.

That's why your IT resume requires balance.

Whether you're a CIO or an engineer, writing a powerful technology resume that speaks to both technical and non-technical stakeholders can feel you're walking a tightrope. The process requires a thoughtful, considered balancing of your entire career. That takes time, that takes a great deal of objectivity about who you are and what you've accomplished. It's a human, intuitive approach to IT resume writing that AI just can't provide.

The first step in writing your technology resume is seeing what you've accomplished.

Most people believe that they'll sit down, write their IT resume in a couple of hours, and start getting interviews.

Unfortunately, though, it's just not that easy.

Because with that approach—which is what most people use—your resume will be, probably, a bulleted form of your job description.

That's just not going to get you calls for interviews.

Why? Because hiring authorities know, broadly, what you've done—because, on a superficial level, every senior developer or every CTO does many of the same things day-to-day.

The hiring authorities need to know what you've done better.

What you've done differently.

What you've delivered in your career—but technically and in business terms.

That requires more than a page of bullet points talking about duties and responsibilities.

How do I write IT resumes?

First, I ask a lot of questions—for examples of the sorts of questions I ask, you can take a look at this blog.

LinkedIn Profile Optimization.

Once you've signed off on your IT resume, I'll get started on your LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn is, as we all know, a difficult platform these days—but it's still critical. Recruiters use LinkedIn as a primary sourcing tool—and reader who have read your resume will go to LinkedIn to learn more about you—because these days, the LinkedIn profile has taken on the role of the cover letter. I'm focused on crafting a keyword-optimized LinkedIn profile that's free from confidential content.
