Why not go with the direct method and say exactly what you mean e.g.
"I guess the main point I want to bring across is that I'm an all-round developer who cares about getting things done and uses whatever means are best for the job. I'm able to learn/understand tech quickly but this is just a means to an end. I like to focus on the team and there interaction / openness."
I usually just write working with Java stack / JVM technologies and a few sentences what I (not the team) accomplished in my previous jobs, because I don't think resumes all that important.
- melle 10y agoThat might work if you got referred to the company, of if you talk directly to the person who you'll work for. My experience is that HR essentially treats your resume as a checklist, like a first filter.
- davelnewton 10y agoThey're important to get you in the door, though. For better or worse, they're the first thing people see: it's important they describe your talents, interests, and passions. I have a pretty non-standard resume, but I include standard parts like the ubiquitous bullet list of "things I know", but it's augmented with info that gives some insight into my personality, approaches, etc. The people that don't like my resume are people I don't want to work for, so it's win all 'round.
