Information Technology Resumes include professionals in computers and scientific fields. Common positions include engineers, developers, scientists, analysts and researchers.
There are two major differences in the strategy used in an information technology resume as opposed to a standard professional resume (especially in a hands-on technical field):
For hands on IT professionals, it's important to build a list of technologies you are familiar with and you highlight the technologies where you possess an expertise. This could include operating systems, software, programming languages, computer hardware or even standards. Especially with developers and engineers, these lists can be long and detailed, but are very important to employers. One of the first things that an employer wants to know is the technical environment where you have the most knowledge and that is why this section needs to be at the top under the summary for hands-on professionals.
Secondly, it is much more common to provide greater detail in a technical resume. These job positions are just more complex. Also, statements can become more detailed when explaining your accomplishments in a specific technical environment.
