For example, if an applicant is seeking a quality assurance engineering position that requires experience in a Windows environment, candidates must highlight where and how frequently they test in this type of platform environment. For people with more than five years of experience, a resume of more than one page is fine. Showing an interest and knowledge of a company goes a long way in the interview process. Plus, it saves time and allows the interviewer to better get to know the candidate. Technology proficiency is important, but enhancing our culture and really being an active part of our team is also essential.
Technical skills are invaluable.
Software developers should be proficient with Java, XL, HTML or object-oriented development technologies. Lots of technical publications focus on the latest technologies that are most sought after by companies. Quality assurance engineers should gain experience with the latest automated test tools such as Segue SilkTest, QA Partner, RSW e-Suite. Database developers and administrators should use the latest versions of relational databases and understand the concepts of each version. Understanding what competitors are doing creates a better self-awareness and can help strategize marketing and business development efforts.
