      I've seen some resumes that have a separate paragraph that lists the technology they have experience with. For example, someone would have a paragraph titled " Technology Proficiency or Technology Used" and in that paragraph it would say windows server 2012, Vmware, etc. What is your recommendation on how to lay it out?

        Post your resume and everyone here will critique it. It's done pretty commonly here.

          I would not use a paragraph, but a list for tech items. Don't get conversational in resumes.

            I'm in the process of updating it, but will definitely post it to get another set of eyes on it.

              I placed them by category in bullet points.

                I would put it under skills

                  I think the technology experience you list depends on whether it is 1) relatable to the technology the new role requires you to use or 2) is specifically the technology the new role requires you to use. Anything else is just noise. I'd encourage you to watch the video here
                  titled A Recruiter's Advice to the IT Pro. It has some good advice for LinkedIn, etc.

                  Make sure LinkedIn is updated with all of your skills and experience (and I mean all of it). Then take that and whittle down to those items that can be highlighted to get you the new job.
