Your Solutions Architect Resume: Prove You're a Problem-Solver

Your solutions architect resume has to tell a clear story—and put together all the pieces of a complex, hybrid role—to demonstrate, clearly and concisely, how you work cross-functionally to solve business problems.

As a solutions architect, you do a lot. You lead technical vision, drive success, and build bridges with stakeholders, other disciplines, and technical teams.

But fundamentally, you solve complex, business-critical problems and create solutions to address the issues your organization is facing.

Your solutions architect resume has show the value you've delivered—while giving enough detail and enough context, for the hiring authority to understand how you get the job done.

In two pages and 800-1000 words (at the outside).

The Key to Your Solutions Architect Resume is Clear Focus

It's (relatively) easy to write a solutions architect resume that's a list of projects. That can have some value, but those sorts of resumes are generally hard to follow and hard to read. They can seem, "all over the place."

So you have to find the common thread, the piece that ties your work together—and that helps to differentiate you from your competition in the job market. That can be your problem solving style, your way of dealing with the many stakeholders involved, your way of bridging business and tech.

This requires some thought, some introspection—and a different way of looking at your career.

How I Write a Solutions Architect Resume

I'm J.M. Auron, and I've been a full-time, professional IT resume writer for more than 15 years. In that time, I've created and honed a process that gives me the information I need to craft your best possible solutions architect resume—while simultaneously giving you great insight into your career and a better ability to communicate who are and what you've done in the interview.

One of the key things I do with my clients is to speed the process of introspection that I just mentioned. That's part of the value that my unique, highly personalized resume process delivers for my client.

I ask a lot of questions—questions that help my client's get beneath the surface of their careers. That saves you time—I don't expect busy technology leaders to spend hours filling out endless questionnaires or worksheets—and more importantly, give you a human-crafted solutions architect resume that is unique to your career and focused on your core value and accomplishments.

I Don't Stop with Your Solutions Architect Resume

In your job search, your resume is, generally, the core piece. But it's also critical to tell your story effectively on LinkedIn. Your LinkedIn profile is an opportunity to tell your story in a less formal, more personal way than your resume. These days, the LinkedIn profile often takes the place of the old cover letter (which few read anymore). So it's important to use the platform to show a bit more about yourself.

That's why I write LinkedIn profiles in the first person—to be certain that the profile is clearly you talking about your career—while reinforcing the data and accomplishments in your solutions architect resume.

Tech Career Coaching

My goal is to be your end-to-end career partner. That's why I include coaching hours with my Gold and Platinum packages at no cost.
