FAQ
Questions about this web developer resume example
Short answers to what people ask before they send this resume.
Use this exampleShould I list every technology I have touched?
No. List what you would be comfortable being asked about in an interview. A skills section that overreaches is the fastest way to lose a technical screen.
Do I need a projects section?
It helps most when your paid experience does not yet show the work you want to be hired for. Two or three, each with the problem stated before the solution.
How technical should the bullets be?
Technical enough that an engineer recognizes the work, plain enough that a recruiter can match it to the post. Both people read it before you get a call.
