Use resume sections to present information & enhance readability

[Back to Table of Content]

Using resume sections helps you present information effectively in your computer tech resume. It also enhances the readability which makes it recruiter-friendly too!

So use resume sections!

As a rule of thumb, other sections or not, make sure that you include these 7 must-have resume sections in your computer tech resume:

• Header
• Personal Information
• Profile Title
• Summary/Objective
• Key Skills
• Professional Experience
• Education

You can also add extra sections such as:

• Internships
• Certifications
• Conference & Publications
• Volunteering Experience

If you don't want to go through the pain of making & arranging sections in the right order in your resume, don't sweat it!

Incorporate relevant keywords across different resume sections

[Back to Table of Content]

Keywords or resume keywords are job-specific criteria that a job candidate must have to be considered fit for the job.

The more criteria you meet, the more qualified you're considered for the job!

And the best way to show that you are qualified for the job is by incorporating relevant keywords across different sections of your computer tech resume!

Here are the 3 main types of resume keywords you should look out for while scanning through the JD of your target job:

• Skill-based keywords: The JD will outline a list of job-specific skillsets. They might even outline a list of add-on skills. Once you identify them, see if you match any. Once you identify the skills that match, incorporate them in different sections such as the key skills, summary, and professional experience section.
• Education-based keywords: Should be incorporated in the education section. For example, if the JD says that they need B SC Graduates only, highlighting this in the education section can help you show that you meet the education criteria.
• Experience-based keywords: Some organizations will look for experienced candidates while some would be okay with fresh graduates. Thus, we advise you to show your experience level in the summary section by beginning it in this manner: '5_ years experienced Computer Science Technician. . ."

Incorporating keywords in your resume not only helps you make a job-targeted resume, but it also helps you get parsed by the ATS software: a resume screening tool that most organizations have started using to eliminate the least fit candidates!

Once an ATS parses your computer tech resume, it reaches a human recruiter.

In other words, your resume won't even get evaluated by a human recruiter if it is not keyword-optimized!

So if you're still unsure of the importance of resume keywords, it is high time to do a little research, acknowledge its importance, and know it like the back of your hand. Because..... guess what?

It helps you make an ATS compatible resume, help you present yourself as an ideal candidate, and thus, increase your shortlist chances!

If you don't know how to spot keywords & use them in your resume, don't worry. Use our Online Resume Builder!

It comes with a JD-Resume match functionality feature which helps you copy-paste the JD in a text box where it gets scrutinized. The result: our resume builder gives you a list of the skills & other things you can add to your resume to make it keyword-optimized, job-optimized, and ATS compatible!

Perfect the header, personal information, and profile title sections

[Back to Table of Content]

We will now discuss the first three sections of your computer tech resume and show you how to perfect them. Let's begin!

Computer Tech Resume: Header

While drafting the header of your computer technician resume, make sure that you follow the resume tips for this section, such as:

• Write your real full name and place it on the extreme top part of your computer technician resume.
• Draft it in the largest font size, preferably 16-20 font-size so that it is easy to identify it.
• Do not label your computer tech resume using a generic 'CV' or 'resume' as it is implicit and does not need to be explicitly communicated.

For a better understanding of this section, read our Resume Header Guide.

Here's a computer tech resume sample showing you an ideal resume header:

Computer Tech Resume: Personal Information

[Back to Table of Content]

While drafting the personal information section of your computer technician resume, make sure that you include the following details:

• One updated mobile number
• Professional email ID
• Current Location (City, State code)

Hiration Pro Tip: DO NOT give your marital status, sex, age, gender, ethnicity, or other personal details here as it can lead to biased hiring. However, if the resume guideline favors it, you might have to put down certain information anyway! So do yourself a favor and research the resume guidelines around this section.

If you're looking for an in-depth guide on this section, explore our Resume Personal Information Guide to learn how every small detail about this section!

Computer Tech Resume: Profile Title

[Back to Table of Content]

Here are some rules around the profile title section that you should know:

• It communicates current job designation, the industry you work in, your seniority, and expected salary. As such, you need to correctly present it.
• If you're a computer technician, write it the same way. Example: 'Computer Technician'. Don't just glorify it unnecessarily to impress the recruiter. It won't work and you'll lose credibility which is worse than not getting the job.
• Given its importance, it needs to stand out. To ensure that a recruiter sees it one go, draft it in the second-largest text, preferably 14-16 points.

Here's a perfectly & corrected titled profile title as shown in this computer tech resume sample:

Perfect the Professional Experience Section to showcase your expertise

[Back to Table of Content]

A thorough assessment of the professional experience section of your computer technician skills resume will tell the recruiter if you're fit for the job.

When presented effectively, this section alone has the power to get you shortlisted.

So your job before you get the computer tech job of your dreams is to perfect this section at all costs. Here are 5 ways you can achieve this:

• Use one-liner points
• Use power verbs
• Use achievement figures
• Use keywords
• Use Bucketing & Bolding

One-liner Points

When communicating the details of your professional experience, always do so using one-liner points.

Doing this will help you present your roles & responsibilities effectively.

It also increases the readability of your resume, thus keeping the recruiter's eyes right where it should be - on your computer tech resume!

Power Verbs

Writing one-liner points is not enough. All it does is enhance the readability of your computer technician skills resume.

Don't just stop at that. Do more. Use power verbs to begin each point to add a tone of professionalism to your roles & responsibilities.

Examples of power verbs: Administered, Executed, Directed, Spearheaded, Formulated, Developed, Designed, Collaborated, Negotiated, etc.

Achievement figures

Giving a bland narrative of your everyday roles & responsibilities is not enough. A certain level of skills & expertise is expected of you for being in the profession that you are in today.

Raise the quality standards of your resume. Don't just show that you can do this and that. Show how your skills & expertise have helped profit the organization.

In other words, outline your achievements & quantify them using numbers or achievement figures.

Keywords

We spoke about the importance of incorporating keywords into your resume.

By strategically placing keywords into this section, you can show to the hiring organization that you meet the skill criteria outlined in the JD.

You can further increase the impact of this section by drawing a relation between your skills & your achievements.

Bucketing & Bolding

So far you have done everything right.

By grouping similar points within buckets (called bucketing) and marking relevant words, achievements, and keywords in bold (called bolding), you can easily ensure that your main career highlights get noticed!

Computer Tech Resume Sample for Professional Experience

To take a more directed approach to curating & perfecting this section, read our Resume Work Experience Section Guide.

Here's a computer tech resume sample showcasing a perfect professional experience section:

Give your educational & certification details

[Back to Table of Content]

The education is a must-have section of your resume and the certifications section is an add-on section that you can include if you have done relevant certifications.

We will now discuss both sections in detail.

Computer Tech Resume: Education

As we have mentioned time and again, the education section is an important part & parcel of your computer tech resume.

It needs to feature in your resume because it tells the recruiter or hiring body if you meet the basic education criteria outlined for the job opening.

Here's a list of the top 4 things to include in the education section of your senior or entry level computer tech resume:

• Names of the universities you have attended (put both masters & bachelor's school of education. You can leave out your high school details)
• Degree Name (Example: B. Sc. - Computer Science)
• Location of grad school & post-graduate school (Example: New York, NY)
• Graduation & Enrolment Dates (Example: Jun '16 - May '20)

For a better understanding of this section and the weight it holds in helping you curate your senior or entry level computer tech resume, read our Resume Education Section Blog.

Here's a computer tech resume sample illustrating an impeccable education section.

Computer Tech Resume: Certifications

[Back to Table of Content]

While your academic background helps you communicate if you meet the basic educational requirements of the job, your certifications help you show that you are going further & beyond to upskill & stay relevant.

So while the certifications section is not a must-have section, we highly recommend it if you are looking for jobs as it helps you show that you are in touch with the latest trends in your industry.

Here are the top 4 things to include in the certifications section of your c=computer technician skills resume:

• Certification course name
• Name of the certifying institute
• Location of the certifying institute
• Certifications enrolment & completion dates

Here's a computer tech resume sample illustrating an impeccable certifications section.

Outline your computer tech skills under a key skills section

[Back to Table of Content]

Your computer tech skills matter. We can't stress this enough. After all, it is these skills that make you the professional that you are.

If you are exceptionally good at what you do, have additional skills that do not exactly fit into your job description, we recommend you to illustrate them too!

By doing this, you can show that you are qualified for the job and also have the ability to bring something new to the table.

Hiration Pro Tip: Make a key skills section to put your computer tech skills. Make a technical skills subsection to illustrate your tool knowledge.

Read our Resume Skills Guide to get an in-depth understanding of the skills section of your computer technician skills resume.

Conclude your resume using a computer technician resume objective or summary

[Back to Table of Content]

We have now discussed all other sections of your computer technician resume. We will now discuss the summary & objective.

Computer Technician Resume Summary

A computer technician resume summary is a summary statement.

It should be written by experienced computer tech professionals who have a total work experience of 3 years and more.

Here are some quick tips that you can incorporate in your computer technician resume summary to perfect it:

• Draft it at the end. Doing this will help you pick all-important points at once, thus eliminating the need to revisit your work experience details.
• Keep it achievement-based. Think of one or two prominent achievements in your niche and present them in this section. Try to quantify your achievements if possible.
• Stick to a 3-5 lines paragraph limit. Doing this helps you stay on-point.
• Don't add fluff to your summary statement. Don't treat this as an essay where you can get away with using fancy words & jargon. Keep it short. Keep it relevant.

Read our Resume Summary Guide to get an in-depth understanding of the summary statement and what you can do to perfect it.

Computer Technician Resume Objective

[Back to Table of Content]

You should write a computer technician resume objective if you have no work experience or have a very limited work experience of fewer than 3 years.

If you are a fresh graduate writing an entry level computer tech resume, then you should write an objective (not a summary).

There's not much difference between the two except that the objective will focus more on your functional skills than your career-centric achievements as you probably don't have much work experience to talk about.

Just like the summary, compose the objective statement at the end and keep it strictly limited to a 3-5 lines paragraph.
