Are You More Than Just a Techie?

"You know C++, Java, SQL, Perl, ColdFusion and have so many other tech skills you don't know how to cram them all onto your resume. Shouldn't these skills be enough to garner a job offer?" Recruiters and CTOs recommend an emphasis on one or more of the following areas to demonstrate your nontechnical savvy: • The ability to analyze business processes and requirements. • Expertise within a particular industry. • Experience with presentations, either to outside clients or internal audiences. • The ability to work with a company's various nontechnical constituencies. • Knowledge of specific functional areas of a business such as accounting, human resources, marketing or sales. • A customer-friendly demeanor. • Writing experience. One area that particularly stands out is communication skills. "Focus on the softer skills," says Jason Berkowitz, chief operating officer of Hunter Recruitment Advisors. "Communication skills are key."
