Someone in HR or a recruiter will match up the technologies on the job post with your CV and only put you through if you list most of the ones they need.
- john-radio 3y agoI never know how granular to go with those.
- shrikant 3y agoIt's very annoying -- I just concluded a job search recently after being made redundant, and what I found frustrating in some places that rejected me was weird stuff like not having enough experience with terraform/git/Github Actions etc. But I've specifically called out the use of infrastructure as code, version control, and CI/CD at various points in my CV! I genuinely dislike the buzzword bingo CVs that I've vetted when hiring for roles but I try to keep an open mind about the actual experience that the candidate is portraying -- I guess it's too much to ask for the same open-mindedness in other hiring managers?
- JohnFen 3y agoYes. I even break mine up into two sections: things I've used in the last year, and things I've used ever. By "used", I don't mean that I touched it once. I mean that I have used it enough to consider myself competent with it.
