Programming Resumes

Proven communication, social and written skills are extremely valuable for programmers as working in teams and with other programmers on projects are common. Keeping abreast of technology and software updates is the life of a programmer, so highlight your natural disposition and interest towards doing so.

The skills section should dot point and outline all the languages and software one is proficient and/or experienced with using. Do not just list the languages that you have experience using in the workplace list all languages that you are familiar with from formal education and through educating yourself in your own time.

Though it is good to list specific languages utilized in your employment history, here you will focus on your development, project and time management experience.
