In IT, your technology stack largely decides the first impression. Recruiters and tech leads scan CVs specifically for programming languages, frameworks, tools and methods. List your skills clearly and group them by experience level or category (languages, frameworks, DevOps, databases).

At least as important are projects and measurable results. Describe not only what you built, but what impact it had – such as faster load times, higher test coverage or fewer outages. Links to GitHub, a portfolio or relevant open-source contributions round off the impression professionally.

Frequently asked questions

How do I list technical skills on my CV?

Group your skills into categories such as programming languages, frameworks and tools. Optionally you can indicate your experience level, for example 'advanced' or 'expert'.

Should I include my GitHub profile?

Yes, a link to GitHub, GitLab or a portfolio is highly valuable in IT. It lets recruiters see your way of working and code quality directly.

How important are certificates in IT?

Certificates such as AWS, Azure or Scrum are a plus, but they do not replace hands-on projects. Concrete project experience is usually valued more highly.
