- Resume Building

Keep in mind that your resume is the first impression that your interviewer is going to have about you. It is the first and most essential step towards your goal. You can prepare a resume in two ways:

Chronological This is the one that you need to make use of when you want to list everything as they have happened. And these are used in traditional fields.

Functional: In this, not all the skills and experiences are mentioned, though, the jobseeker only mentions those experiences and skills that are relevant to the job requirements. The recruiters these days prefer these kinds of resumes as they are short yet fully informative.

Hence always prefer the functional resume, and then you will have a better chance of getting the job. Remember, you should put your words most appropriately and as concisely as possible. It should also be consistent and formatted such that you can convey your message as loud as possible.

Also, always keep your resume updated. It's your resume that will help you pass the first round.

Make sure your resume is not more than 2-pages, as otherwise, the recruiters might get bored, and that will affect your chances.

Apart from functional, also list the activities and mention your role in them. And remember, recruiters prefer a customized resume. You should present all your interpersonal skills like leadership, team player, etc... And in case you have received an award, please do mention it.

Do mention your hobbies and present yourself as an all-rounder with all the skills and hobbies.

Now let's cover another essential part, the technical skills in the AWS resume.

Technical Skills

Once you have completed the job experiences, mention the technical skills in the tech skills section. Mention all those that are relevant to the job. However, only brief the skills that you know well. A sample technical skill can look like as below:

Sample:

TECHNICAL SKILLS:

• Good experience in developer tools like Code build, Code Deploy, Code Pipeline, and designing the complete cloud environment, which covers the storage instance, EC2-instance, high availability zones, subnets, etc.

- Achievements & Hobbies

The next part is the achievement and hobbies. Not a lot of those are required, as it distracts the recruiter. And he can miss the essential ones. Mention a small bunch and those which are relevant to the job. However, make sure you are confident with what you are mentioning as well.
