When applying for your first job in the IT industry, you need to find a way to stand out from the crowd. Your goal is to convince recruiters that, despite your lack of industry experience, you are still the right person for their company.

However, keep in mind that recruiters will not waste time on the bland resume. Research shows that they spend no more than 6 seconds on each resume.

I hope to introduce you some practical tips through this article, help you write a killer resume, and help you find your first IT job.

Popular resume types

First, you need to understand the different types of resumes.

The first is a chronological resume. Show your recent experience and work experience in chronological order.

The second is a functional resume, focusing on some experiences related to job advertisements. In this resume, personal profile and professional summary play a vital role. This is especially important for those who want to find their first IT job.

The third is to have both of the above advantages. First introduce your technical and qualification information at the beginning. Then, highlight your work experience in chronological order.

Organize your resume strategically

The organization of the resume needs to be determined based on a variety of factors, such as technical skills, experience, and employer expectations. Nevertheless, most resumes will include the following:

Title and contact information

The beginning of the resume is the title, which usually contains your name and major. Contact information should include your phone number, email address, links to relevant social information, and personal website addresses.

Introduction / Professional Summary

The professional summary is a brief overview of the profession, telling the recruiter who you are, what you do, and why you are the ideal candidate for the position. When writing an introduction, you need to highlight the value you can bring to your employer.

Technical power

The technical part is essential for finding candidates with professional experience and background. Many IT professionals list their technical capabilities and use them to highlight their resumes.

work experience

This is the core part of your resume, you need to introduce your work experience carefully. The format of this part is different, but usually you need to introduce the name, location, time, position and responsibilities of the company you used to work for. If you are a white in the IT field, then please emphasize the internship experience related to this position.

education

For young IT professionals who do not have much work experience, the introduction of education is very important. Most of the time, you only need to write the name of the university, the time of study and the degree obtained. If you have participated in relevant training courses or received industry-specific awards, please do not forget to list them in the education section.

Although your goal is to impress the personnel manager, you should remain honest, and remember that they can easily verify the authenticity of the resume content.

extra information

You can highlight yourself through this section. Here you can introduce the volunteer experience you have done, the rewards you have received, and your personal hobbies. This allows recruiters to learn more about you and determine whether you are suitable for this position.

Apply the correct design and format

After writing the above, your resume is only half finished. Next, you need to choose the correct design and you need to apply the correct format. The confusing format will make your resume difficult to read and directly affect the hiring manager's perception of you. Therefore, you should create a smooth and beautiful resume to attract the attention of the hiring manager and make them interested in reading your resume.

As for the format, please use clear fonts and leave a lot of blank space to facilitate text reading. The font size should be at least 11 points and the margin should be at least 7 inches. In addition, you should choose a pleasing palette. Color is important because color affects the appearance and authenticity of your resume, but you should avoid using elements that are too fancy, because these elements will only dazzle recruitment managers and prevent them from focusing on the real content of the resume. Finally, the resume should be kept short and succinct, 1-2 pages is more appropriate, do not write irrelevant content.

Proofreading

If you want to show that you are serious about the job and the employer, you need to carefully proofread grammatical errors and typos. After writing your resume, simply reading a few times is not enough, you need to proofread and edit carefully.

Especially when looking for the first job, you need to write each part carefully and then edit it.

Secondly, in order to find out all the grammatical errors and typos in your resume, you should do some other things after writing, and then go back to your resume for editing.

If it is not enough, you can ask a friend or family member to read your resume carefully. They are likely to find small mistakes that you have overlooked, and they can also provide suggestions for revising your resume.

Finally, please verify all content to ensure that the school, company name, address and contact information are accurate.

to sum up

Writing a fresh resume is not easy, especially for individuals applying for their first IT job. To convince recruiters that you are the right choice for you, you first need to choose the correct resume format and strategically organize your resume content. In addition, you need to optimize each part, enrich the content, and facilitate reading. Since Xiaobai does not have any work experience, he needs to emphasize his technical skills and education experience. Finally, you also need to keep your resume design simple and eliminate all grammatical errors and typos.
