CV Tips for Software Developers?

Posted by Cliff on Friday January 14, 2005 @06:48AM from the aka-the-resume dept.

drylight asks: "When writing a CV, what do people find to be an effective format that gets possible employer's attention and/or the desired job? Is Keeping things short, preferable or will two or more pages be acceptable? Is a complete work history desired, or would a list of applications and projects that you've been involved in a better idea? Any links to online examples of good CVs would be greatly appreciated. What are some other tips on how to get someone's attention when applying for a job?"

Yeah, it's basically a resume, but for people who have never actually _done_ anything in their life. That is, they've spent all their time in school and think they're better than the rest of the world because of their degrees and theoretical experience, but have no actual experience to include on a resume as a paid gig.
