5 Hard Skills for a Resume in Software Development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rise of remote work has slightly disrupted trends in the software development hiring market. For instance, cloud security<\/a> is more in-demand than in previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are important technical skills companies will seek from software developers in 2022 and beyond:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Cloud & cloud security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The rise of remote work has dramatically increased the need for cloud and cloud security developers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Demand for cloud-native development skills is expected to expand in future years to satisfy the increased agility needed by organizations with a development model that span data centers and multi-cloud environments,” Erica Langhi, senior solution architect EMEA Red Hat, told TechRepublic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. DevOps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSoftware Development Methodologies (DevOps) expertise is the most marketable going into 2021, with 634,600 open positions available in North America,\u201d reported Forbes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of a DevOps lead are well-documented. One 2016 survey<\/a> found that IT departments with a strong DevOps workflow deploy software 200x more frequently than low-performing IT teams. These DevOps teams 24x faster recovery times, and three times lower rates of change failure. And, these teams spend 50% less time addressing security issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are efficiencies that businesses can no longer afford to ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. IT automation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

IT automation is predicted to be one of the most highly-sought-after technical skills for software developers in 2021. This category of skills includes any expertise related to automating digital processes and workflows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once again, the shift to remote work makes these hard skills that much more important. \u201cIT automation expertise can earn technical professionals a $24,969 salary premium, the most lucrative of all tech job skills to have in 2021,\u201d reported Forbes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Full-stack development<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not enough to be a great front-end developer: Today\u2019s mid-level and senior software developers must also be well-versed in back-end development, too. “Developers who want to stand out from the crowd in today’s job market need to have the full repertoire of front-end and back-end development expertise,” said Aude Barral, Co-founder and CCO of CodinGame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“That means having knowledge of one or more of Python, JavaScript, Java, Go and PHP for back-end programming languages and HTML\/CSS for the front end.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Python<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Python was one of the five most in-demand coding languages<\/a> of 2019 and continues to be highly sought-after by companies of all sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soft Skills on a Resume in Software Engineering<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Technical skills are just one part of the equation: Soft skills \u2014 things like leadership<\/a> and time management<\/a> \u2014 are also in high demand. And, unlike technical skills, soft skills often can\u2019t be taught in on-the-job training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soft skills might be even more important to a recruiter than technical skills. One LinkedIn survey found that nearly 60%<\/a> of US hiring managers found it difficult to hire candidates with great soft skills. These types of skills become even more valuable as you advance in your career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Software developers who have excellent soft skills will be able to command higher salaries at some of the most competitive companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recruiters are going to be seeking software developers who demonstrate these five soft skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Good communication<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Software developers need to be able to effectively interface with non-technical counterparts, ask for support where needed, and delegate to team members in a way that makes them feel valued and engaged with their work. Especially in a remote-work setting, good intercultural communication<\/a> is imperative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help build your communication skills on your own time while also building your professional brand, learn how to network with other software developers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Time management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Software managers must be able to keep their teams on track to meet deadlines<\/a>. It\u2019s becoming more and more common for software development team members to be located in different time zones. As a result, senior engineers and leaders must be equipped to manage lots of moving parts to keep projects on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Problem-solving skills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are always going to be problems in any software project and on any development team. Great problem-solving skills<\/a> are handy for software engineers in their day-to-day jobs and for their long-term careers, in general. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use your resume to describe how you\u2019ve creatively and independently come up with solutions to difficult client requests or overcome any obstacles that would have threatened the success of your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Adaptability and flexibility<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This soft skill goes hand-in-hand with problem-solving and analysis skills<\/a>. Show on your resume how you\u2019ve been able to adjust to changing work conditions during the pandemic, for instance, or how you\u2019ve added knowledge, skills, and tools to keep up with changing industry standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being adaptable and flexible are important for remote collaboration and working with distributed teams<\/a>. And, this is getting more and more important, so, if you’re wondering how to become a software engineer<\/a>, make sure to add adaptability and flexibility to the top of your skills list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Ability to accept feedback<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Humility and patience are hard to quantify, but one way to show you\u2019re easy to work with is to show that you\u2019re open and welcoming to project feedback \u2014 no matter how tough it can be to hear constructive criticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soft skills are in demand \u2014 but they can also be hard to demonstrate in written form. Consider adding keywords that are listed in the job description to your summary section or to a specific skills section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use numbers to back up your soft skills expertise: use facts and figures to show that you\u2019re a \u201cskilled manager.\u201d KPIs like \u201c% of projects shipped ahead of schedule\u201d or \u201cmanaged x developers in y time zones\u201d demonstrate your soft skills effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Include Skills on a Resume for Developer Jobs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have the space in your resume format, include a skills section that responds to the specific job posting for which you are applying. This section does not have to be long, but it does need to be strategic. Use specific keywords for which an ATS may be screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Limit the skills you list to those which are highly relevant \u2014 especially for this stage in your career. Omit obsolete skills or obvious software programs, like Microsoft Office, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most experts recommend selecting 10-15 hard and soft skills to highlight in your resume, using a symmetrical column format with five or six skills per column. Group together your technical software skills in a skills section separate from your soft skills for maximum impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(You can also use these skills to optimize your LinkedIn profile<\/a>, as well!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to make sure that your resume best showcases your skills as they relate to the job description. By adding a skills section, you can highlight some of the hard and soft skills that are most in-demand for senior software developers<\/a> in today\u2019s job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, even if you have a busy developer schedule, always keep learning, growing, and building new skills<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
