  • I've reviewed many technical resumes and if they aren't well written they were rejected for these reasons.

    1. A technical professional needs to be a good communicator. He or she does need to be able to write very clearly.

    2. A good technical professional is detail oriented and that should show up in the resume.

    One thing that you didn't stress is version of things. For example, you've installed and maintained an Oracle database. What version of the database? A separate area near the front of products and versions that you know is very important in a technical resume. --- This is the first thing that we look at in weeding out, or moving to the short list technical people.
