Technical resumes are near and dear to HireMaker. In case you noticed, HireMaker's rounder is a technology person (B.S. and M.S. in Information Systems) turned Recruiter, turned techie, turned recruiter, turned techie again, so the technical resume is one of the areas that HireMaker enjoys immensely.
Needless to say, technical resumes are one of our specialties. We want to help! To begin, read about our complimentary resume assessment and One Free Tip program.
At HireMaker, we've been in the resume business a long time. Whatever the type of resume you need, our resume writing service can help.
What to do with all that CP/M experience. It's a double edged sword, having experience in old technology. Although you won't be getting a job using the older technology (probably), it still has certain value on a resume: Often, it means you'll have a deeper understanding of how technology works, even if there's no jobs in that technology. For example, someone who wrote CGI scripts for web pages years ago has a deep-down fundamental understanding of how web technology works, even if they aren't likely to do a lot of CGI scripts today.
