My 2 cents as someone who has interviewed a fair number of people,
State your accomplishments. Technical skills can be learned. I feel that learning technology is part of the job, not a prerequisite for the job. on your linked-in, okay list every little thing if you want non-technical recruiters to find you w/ keywords... But as a hiring manager, I want to see someone who can learn and grow into the role. Having technology experience relevant for the role is worth highlighting but not every bit of technical experience. Otherwise highlight technologies you've used in your accomplishments only but focus on the accomplishment itself. Focus more on the activities - what big important features did you implement, not what technology you used to implement the features. The positive outcome of the work is more important than how you got there.
Eg having worked on an open source project, managing contributions from other developers, releasing etc is more important than the project itself.
- melle 10y agoThat sounds like good advice. It's also how I feel about software development in general. The tools are a means to an end. Control of the process/project is often much more of a challenge. Thanks!
