Resume Tips for Web DevelopersNot getting interviews for web developer jobs? Chances are, it's your resume that's letting you down. So here are some simple resume tips for web developers, whatever your level of experience.1. Do something quirkyBecause you're applying for a creative position, where you're expected to code, design and produce compelling work, an eye-grabbing resume will make you stand out from the pile of other resumes on a hiring manager's desk.That's not to say you should do something outrageous, like make the entire thing bright pink! Although you may consider this depending on who is advertising the job.But considering you're going to be designing websites, perhaps now's the perfect time to showcase that talent with an elegant, yet detailed resume template design.You could even go so far to theme a couple of templates specifically for different types of businesses you're applying to.2. Bullet pointsA hiring manager will take no longer than 30 seconds to read a resume.Use a bullet points to summarise your skills, qualifications and job history so that your resume can be scan-read at speed.This way you'll be able to deliver as much information about yourself to the hiring manager within that time frame, while saving space on the sheet of A4 at the same time.You can also scan-read your own resume during the interview stage when you need to talk on various topics. So never forget that your resume is also an important supporting document for the latter stages of the interview process.3. Link to your online portfolioChances are that you didn't get your first web developer job without having a personal project or an online portfolio of work. So make sure you link to it in your resume.But if you are still trying to nail that first web developer job, then I suggest you read this guide on how to get a web developer job right away.The link to your website/blog/project should be at the top of your resume, below your name and contact details. This allows the hiring manager to see your work, maybe even look at your code and gain a better understanding of who you are, how you work and what you can bring to their company.The person conducting the interviews should take the time to look at it, but it's not uncommon for resumes to be filtered through someone in HR who knows nothing about web development.And because of this you also need to…4. Minimise your techno-babbleYour resume may be a mind blowing mash of experience, skills and achievements, but if a non-techie can't understand what it all means, then it's not going to pass the HR person filter.And if the person interviewing you isn't technically minded either – sometimes it's the HR person during the first interview stage – you'll have difficulty progressing to the next stage.Keep your wording simple enough so that your Mother could understand it.Okay, maybe not that simple, because we want to keep this resume short, but you get the idea.5. Achievements as well as tasksIt's easy to list all the things you did in each of your jobs, but don't forget to include your achievements as well.These are the things that hiring managers like to see, so they can understand how you went that extra mile and what successes you brought to other businesses.Also, because we live in an age of flattering job titles (like ‘refuge collector'), a job title alone isn't a clear indication of roles, responsibilities or salaries.You need to clarify each of your roles in detail, from a general over view, to bullet points illustrating your day to day tasks and achievements.SummaryWhen it comes to applying for web developer jobs, it doesn't matter how good you may be at writing code, because if your CV isn't working for you, you'll never get to the interview stage to wow the interviewer with your skill, experience and passion for your profession.Once you've got your CV in order, it's time to get ready for the difficult web developer interview questions that employers love to ask.Chris Paul JerseysNBA Jerseys SaleMichael Jordan JerseysBuy Cheap NBA JerseysTim Duncan Jerseys

I guess because of my job, I assumed it was a congenital condition and turns out I was right. People are just awful sometimes I don't know why they get such a rush out of being mean.

That's an awful assumption

I would have thought 'car accident' or something like that. Drug overdoses are big news, especially for celebs, but they aren't that common
