Tips

Jargon: Working as a programmer means that you are probably used to using jargon on a daily basis. It is important to remember not to overdo the use of jargon on your CV because not every prospective employer or HR professional may be familiar with those technical terms. Instead, it is recommended to restrict technical terms to the well-known examples and keep the jargon to a minimum for maximum readability and impact.

Good Luck!
