"Dusting off the ol' résumé. IT Brew caught up with Diana Huang, VP of technology staffing agency Prosum's Southern California market, to learn how IT pros can make their job search less cumbersome, as well as proper résumé etiquette. Huang said one of the most important things an IT pro can do to improve their résuméis to demonstrate their accomplishments through numbers or other measurable metrics."
""It could be 'Reduced cloud spend by 15% through automation,' or 'Improved deployment frequency from weekly to daily,' Huang said. "It's adding numbers and specifics and showing your impact." She added that professionals should make sure résumé details match what's on their LinkedIn profile. A good résumé is also as concise as possible. "Don't write a novel. No one's going to read 15 pages," Huang said."
The tech industry is undergoing widespread layoffs at major companies, prompting many IT professionals to search for new roles. Job hunting after a layoff is emotionally difficult and often grueling. Resumes should emphasize measurable accomplishments, using numbers and specific improvements to show impact. Examples include reduced cloud spend by percentage through automation and improved deployment frequency from weekly to daily. Resume details should match LinkedIn profiles and remain concise; candidates with under five years of experience should aim for one page. Applicants also must optimize resumes for applicant tracking systems that filter and rank candidates by keywords and qualifications.
