Mostly, resumes I see are just... lifeless. A list of places you have worked, with dates, and names of systems or applications that will mean nothing to me, and the technologies upon which they were built. A resume like that tells me nothing more or less than that you have remained employed as a programmer for X years. I am usually sifting through multiple such resumes, all of which tell me that these candidates are... yup, definitely programmers. They have programmed stuff. Please, when writing your resume, try to add one thing to each of the date-range jobs that you list: Tell me how you grew and developed in that time. Just a couple of sentences highlighting the main things you learned as part of that role. Why do you consider yourself a better, more hireable person now, than you were before you did that job? That is worth so much more to me than exactly which version of .net that particular SaaS billing platform was built in.
