Or maybe this is part of a career change for you as you\u2019re ready to explore new vistas in your new field. You\u2019ve no doubt created resumes before (or at least have some sense of how they\u2019re structured), so making a computer programmer\u2019s resume should be fairly easy, right?&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what do you do if you\u2019ve had no paid working experience as a developer? How do you show that you\u2019ve got Java experience in your <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/technical-resumes\/\">tech resume<\/a>? What if the position you\u2019re applying for is for a C programmer but you know your C++ experience would be relevant to the position? How do you show your range of working and learning experience to bring you to the top of the resume pile?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-you-should-and-shouldn-t-list\"><strong>What You Should and Shouldn\u2019t List<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-98.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-98.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-98-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-98-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-98-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-98-385x257.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption><em>Be prepared to answer any questions about the languages you list on your resume.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first and most crucial rule to follow with how to list your programming skills on a resume is to only list skills that you actually have. This may sound like an obvious point\u2014don\u2019t lie on your resume!\u2014but things can get murky when it comes to programming languages or technology environments. If you\u2019ve written a couple of small shell scripts in your life, do you include shell scripting? What about modifying some JavaScript code you found on Stack Overflow? If you\u2019ve logged into a UNIX environment and moved some files around, are you experienced in UNIX?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also don\u2019t want to sell yourself short because you don\u2019t feel like you\u2019ve \u201cmastered\u201d a language. The fact is that no one \u201cmasters\u201d a programming language. No matter what level of experience you have with a language, there will always be new problems and challenges that will tax your skill and thinking.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can expect that any language you list on your resume is fair game for an interviewer or hiring managers to ask you questions about. If you list Java on a resume, be prepared to answer some technical questions about the language. This is true even if you\u2019re not applying to a position writing Java code. If your answer to something based on your resume doesn\u2019t ring true, this could be a potential red flag to the interviewer. So make sure you can answer questions appropriately for anything you list on your resume.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So in other words: don\u2019t put anything down you don\u2019t know well, but don\u2019t discount the experience you have. Still pretty murky. A good rule of thumb is to ask yourself: am I prepared to answer questions about the language I\u2019m listing? If you feel comfortable talking about your experience with that language and can speak with relative ease, you\u2019re probably safe putting it down. And if you feel unsure about something, that might be a good technology to explore with a side project to build your skills and confidence with.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bootcamp-experience-counts\"><strong>Bootcamp Experience Counts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/christina-wocintechchat-com-RMweULmCYxM-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8523\"\/><figcaption><em> Your bootcamp experience is invaluable to your job search.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You also don\u2019t want to avoid listing something just because you haven\u2019t had a paid job writing in that language. Especially if you\u2019re applying for entry-level positions, it\u2019s completely understandable that the entirety of your experience with a language is in the classroom (virtual or otherwise). So if you\u2019ve been working with Python at a coding bootcamp, put it on the resume. As long as you\u2019re in a position to answer questions about it, it\u2019s valid to have it there. While job-based experience is good, it\u2019s only one way of many to demonstrate skill.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If for any reason you\u2019re unsure whether or not to list something, run your resume by a teacher, mentor, or job coach. They can talk through what you\u2019ve done and what you know and give you honest feedback about whether or not to include it.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-list-itself\"><strong>The List Itself<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-99.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10381\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-99.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-99-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-99-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-99-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-99-385x257.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption><em>You\u2019ll want to list your experience in a clear, concise manner.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than listing all the languages that you\u2019ve had some familiarity with all in a block, you might put them into some sort of informative grouping or tiers of experience. A number of people list their programming skills on a resume under headings like:&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Expert<\/li><li>Proficient<\/li><li>Familiar with<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some resumes have \u201cUsed in the past\u201d to indicate enough familiarity to be comfortable exploring the language but not having immediate facility with. This would be something you feel you could get up to speed with fairly quickly. As a beginner, you might not have a lot in this category.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also acknowledge anything you\u2019re tinkering with on your own under something like \u201cInterested in\u201d or \u201cCurious about\u201d for anything you\u2019ve worked with on the hobbyist level. This also shows an interest in personal skill development away from a classroom or job. If you have the means to elaborate on the project, do.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there are as many varieties of listing languages as there are languages themselves. As long as you are honest and clear, however you list them should be fine. For an entry-level programmer, you\u2019re probably safe with:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Most experienced<\/li><li>Some experience<\/li><li>Dabbled in<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here it\u2019s understood that, while you might be \u201cmost experienced\u201d with some languages, you have a level of expertise that\u2019s reasonable for a programmer in the early stage of their career. If you feel that it\u2019s worth having further classifications for what you\u2019ve learned, by all means, add them. Just do keep in mind that you\u2019re presenting this to people looking at dozens\u2014if not hundreds\u2014of resumes at once. They most likely will not be giving your resume a lot of time. Get the important information down as succinctly as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-so-what-are-they-looking-for\"><strong>So, What Are They Looking For?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-100.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-100.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-100-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-100-770x514.jpg 770w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-100-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-100-385x257.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption><em>What are employers looking for in a developer?<\/em><br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s important is that you convey the information clearly. Hiring personnel need to see the names of languages they\u2019re looking for on your resume. Remember: they may not have the same programming background you do. Unfortunately, especially if they\u2019re a very large company, they may be using keyword matching to sort through large piles of resumes. This means they need to see the name of the language they\u2019re looking for listed in your resume. If they\u2019re looking for someone to program in R, they are looking for an R programming resume, so make sure it\u2019s in your list of languages. You know that Java and C++ are both object-oriented languages, but you\u2019ll be hard-pressed to find a job posting for an \u201cObject-oriented programmer\u201d.

But you\u2019re most likely applying to be a software developer at a company that\u2019s expecting you to write code, so they\u2019re looking for people who know specific languages. Yes, you will no doubt use various sorting algorithms in the course of that job, but that knowledge is less important to the people doing the hiring.

It\u2019s also worth displaying any experience in the so-called \u201csoft skills\u201d from your class projects. For example, group projects demonstrate an ability to work with other people towards a common goal. Any sort of project management work you\u2019ve done with group projects is worth highlighting as well. In short, anything you\u2019ve done that mirrors the professional experience of trying to put software together and ship it\u2014even if that work isn\u2019t programming per se\u2014is worth listing.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-knock-em-dead\"><strong>Knock \u2018em Dead<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-2020-01-10T060403.150.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-2020-01-10T060403.150.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-2020-01-10T060403.150-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-2020-01-10T060403.150-770x511.jpg 770w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-2020-01-10T060403.150-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/pasted-image-0-2020-01-10T060403.150-385x255.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption><em>You\u2019ve got this.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, remember that if you\u2019re applying for an entry-level position, it\u2019s understood that you won\u2019t have as much working experience or knowledge as someone who has been in the industry for ten years.
