đź’… Customize

Honestly I completely dropped languages completely on my last version of my resume. I followed Ken Coleman's resume guide and it was a hit. Custom make your resume for the job, tell them why you want to be there, how you can add value and get a killer referral. I also went to their website and pulled their brand colors for all of the color (which is very minimal.)

đź‘Žlist of languages

On the other side of the fence I haven't been in charge of hiring, but I have been asked to pull a couple of resumes to the top of a big pile. One thing that I look for and was rarely found on a resume, was things you have actually built. Things that show me that you know how to actually think and solve problems with the tools that you are touting yourself on. This can be from past job experience, a side project, an assignment, anything that shows me that you can solve problems. The list of languages was the last thing that I looked at.
