I am working on updating the technical skills section in my resume. It has been a while and a lot has changed. I am trying to organize everything so that each section has more than one item and does not have too many items. I think that the Applications section has too many but I am not sure how to break it up. Would it be better to put the CMVC, SVN, CC, CQ under some sort of version/tracking section (not really sure about a better name to use)? I am also only familiar with IBM DB2 and know that LDAP does not really belong under the Databases: section since it is not really deal with databases but storing information in an information directory. I wasn't sure where else to really put it though. I would appreciate any help that you can give me since I have been looking at this for a little while. Thanks!!

Languages : Java, Java Script, C/C++, SQL
Java/J2EE : Core Java, Servlets, JSP, JDBC.
Application Server : IBM Websphere.

This way if you divide, it will help for person who read it.
Also write versions if possible.

Kimberly,
LDAP is a database. It isn't a relational database, but it is a database so it's perfectly logical to put it there.

My take on this:

Java: J2EE, JSP, Servlets, Struts, JDBC
Other languages: C/C++, Java Script, HTML, SQL
Databases: IBM DB2, LDAP
IDEs: Rational Application Developer (RAD), IBM WebSphere Studio (WSAD), Eclipse
Deployment environment: IBM Websphere Application Server, IBM Tivoli Identity Manager (ITIM), IBM iSeries Access for Windows, UNIX
Source control: Rational ClearCase, IBM Configuration Management Version Control (CMVC), Subversion (SVN)
Other tools: IBM Rational ClearQuest, IBM Rational RequisitePro, IBM Rational Test Manager, , LoadRunner


And some notes on my thought process:
  • Leading with Java - since almost everything is in the Java family, I'm guessing that is where you are most likely to be looking to find a job.
  • I'd leave out operating systems - it's implied you know Windows.
  • I'd remove WSAD (because it's outdated) and add Eclipse (if you know WSAD/RAD, you know Eclipse and many places use Ecipse without the IBM parts)
  • If you know UNIX shell scripting, it's a language.
  • Struts is a framework. You could create another line for frameworks/open source libraries you have used.

    Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
