  • How should I list my programming technologies on a resume?

    3 answers




I am doing my last year in high school and next year, I'll need to get my first job while doing my studies. I learned some languages by myself.



In my CV, should I write "Python", "Java", "C", etc... as skills or should I write "Object Oriented Programming", "Procedural Programming", etc... ?



Thanks.

    Bear in mind that almost all (IMOE) programming job adverts will specify exactly what languages are currently in use. In that sense, would it be helpful to the employer to know exactly where your experience lies?

List the languages - while it's not necessarily relevant for the one you're applying for here the convention is to list the individual technologies and this is how job specs are generally written so it will better allow people to match your CV to opportunities and also for people reviewing your CV to see if you have the skills they are looking for.

    The person in HR reading (skimming) your CV has no idea what Object Oriented Programming is, so they will throw you CV out because it doesn’t mention C++, Java and OOP which are all required. You didn’t mention OOP only some strange programming thing they never heard of.



    I hope that makes it clear: Match their keywords.

    What I do on my resume is both: I have one line for specific languages, and one line for more general programming skills.



    Employers are often looking for experience in specific languages, and much less often looking for general OO or procedural language experience. Listing the specific languages you know will be more useful to potential employers.
