If I’m applying to positions in tech, should I use a more modern looking template resume? Currently using the template outlined by my business college. It’s clean but not sure if I should update it to match a forward vibe of the tech world. Coming from public accounting, seems like everyone’s resume looked the same.

Hi! Im in tech now. I don’t think it matters too much. The more important thing is to tailor your resume to sound more tech forward. at the end of the day, stuff still goes through resume readers. I also saw a bunch of resumes for my team during the recruiting process and most of us have just standard resumes.

It might be important if you’re applying to a design-oriented role. In reality, the best way to land a role in tech is to reach directly out to someone in the role you’re looking to apply for, get details about the role and get to know the person, and then ask for a referral. In the referral they generally have the option to advocate for you so making a good impression there can go a long way, OR contact recruiters in the company directly
