The ‘technologies’ will be replaced by their respective icons.
The ‘technologies’ will be replaced by their respective icons.
Why? I have no idea what the icon for some of those are and I’m sure others may not as well.
This change would also be bad for anything that scans for keywords, which includes most applicant tracking software.
I meant like this:
Ah - okay I wouldn’t call that “replaced” - the icons were “added to” the names. I thought you meant the icons would be there instead of the name.
Apologies for the wrong word usage.
I’d change
- Github, … To
- Git, for version control
This assumes that OP actually meant git…
I fear they may have had no idea what the distinction between git and GitHub is and intended to say GitHub.
Thought it was a good opportunity to potentionally learn something new. Seems to have worked out.
Changed, but why Git but not GitHub for version control:
Because “Git” is the technology. GitHub is just one site that works with it.
I see, I thought Git and GitHub are not one and the same.
There’s plenty of git forges that aren’t GitHub. Git itself has nothing to do with central servers and can theoretically be used in a completely decentralized manner.
At college some guys were self hosting a git server for a project but it went down. We resorted to a USB stick that acted as
remoteand was passed around. That was awesome to see, for about a day…Lol. Git itself can act as a server over the git protocol. Might have been easier 🤪
Understood.

Also if you go with git instead of github you should use git’s icon
Agreed, here you go:
Speaking from experience, in the past year, I’ve used 3 different hosting providers for git repositories at work. Only one of them is GitHub. It’s good to keep your options open - git isn’t locked to any particular provider, after all.
What other options are popular in the market?
I’ve used GitLab and Azure DevOps professionally, but there are a lot of services out there which host Git repositories. GitLab can also be self-hosted which is nice. They all fundamentally work the same though from my experience - code viewer, issue tracker, pull requests, some way of doing CI/CD, and various collaborative and documentation features (wikis, discussion areas, permission management, etc).
It may be good to understand also where the separation lies between features that are part of Git vs those which are part of the service you’re using (like GitHub). For example, branches are Git, while pull requests and wikis are GitHub.
I’d suggest rewording the mongoDb line to emphasize familiarity with NoSQL and call out mongoDb as a specific technology in the family. Also, if you have actual RDBMS experience please don’t omit that, it’s something we weight a lot more than just mongo/redis/memcached.
Where should I put that information? I am trying to keep the ‘About Me’ as to not write a long story about my personal life, I’ll leave that to the interviewer.
I disagree about humans reading these… As someone who has to read resumes while hiring, I’d rather see this than the word-soup I often get. It gives me an idea of what you’re best at, and I can figure out that you’d also be able to learn/do similar things.
- I would overload the first portion of your resume with as many keywords related to the stacks you’re familiar with because it’s not like humans are reading these anyway.

what ‘keywords’ should I fill it with.
Do not do this, but if you are, be sure to include Excel, Word, Windows, Outlook, and TCP/IP. Adding TCP/IP lets them know you’re a real technical person.
Most automated scoring of a resume compares your resume to the job posting you’re applying for. The closer the match the higher the score. You should be tuning your resume for each job and while using the same words and phrases in the job posting.

Maybe this can be included in Other Skills. Thanks for the advice.
I’d love for someone more experienced to chime in, but on first glance the classification of JavaScript/Typescript as backend strikes me as weird.
That may just be because the team I work with uses a React/Typescript/Java/Postgres stack and we specifically classify the Typescript as part of the Frontend. Maybe it’s different in different companies?
I’m sure that a Typescript backend could work perfectly fine, it’s just semantics 🤷
You don’t classify a language, you write what language you used for the task. I’m guessing you’re using Java for backend, and TS only for react?
Yup, exactly! So a calculation-only module that doesn’t have a frontend would never have any TS Code in my case.
The classification of language -> task makes sense! I’m thinking of the weird college courses that wanted Java frontends lol
But how would you generalize that for a resume? Say you’ve used C# both for making backends and making frontends in separate projects. Would any sort of classification make sense in that case?
But how would you generalize that for a resume?
I separate languages and tools/frameworks (not a dev CV so take with a grain of salt). No clue about the c# world, but for js I’d do something like:
Languages: js, TS
Frameworks: express, react, etc.
The key is to hit all of the required keywords, machines and HR don’t know anything else. If a developer looks at your résumé they’ll know that you wrote both ends.
Ubuntu font? Good font
I’m using Ubuntu, so it chose Ubuntu font as the default, and the font doesn’t look bad at all. I may stick with it.
