Technical Resume Writing
Your resume has two readers. A recruiter who may not know Kubernetes from Kafka, and a hiring manager who will spot a vague claim in seconds. We write technical resumes that work for both, and get past applicant tracking systems (ATS) first.
Every resume starts with a free 1-on-1 consultation with a certified resume writer who works with tech professionals. We learn what you built, what it changed for the business, and the roles you’re targeting.
What’s included ($499)
- Free 1-on-1 consultation with a certified resume writer
- A custom technical resume built around measurable results, not just a list of tools
- A skills section organized for ATS keyword matching
- First draft within 4-5 business days of your consultation
- Two rounds of revisions

- Software developers and engineers
- Systems and network administrators

Before and after (example)
Before: “Responsible for maintaining servers and troubleshooting network issues.”
After: “Cut unplanned downtime 35% across 120 servers by automating patching and monitoring.”
The “after” version shows the result, the scale and what you did, which is what hiring managers scan for.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a technical resume cost?
$499. It includes a free consultation, a custom resume, and two rounds of revisions. You can add a cover letter ($99) or LinkedIn profile ($399).
Will my resume pass applicant tracking systems?
Yes. We use clean, ATS-friendly formatting and match your skills and titles to the language used in the job descriptions you’re targeting.
Should I list every language and tool I know?
No. We prioritize the skills that match your target roles and show them in context, so the hiring manager sees what you did with them.
How long does it take?
You’ll get your first draft within 4-5 business days of your consultation.
Why not just use ChatGPT?
AI tends to produce generic bullet points that hiring managers now spot quickly. A writer pulls out the specific results and scale that set you apart.
Do you work with tech professionals outside Silicon Valley?
Yes. Consultations are by phone, so we work with clients across the US.
