Java on a resume
By Bhagirath Sheela, founder of JobCatch ·
Java is in the skills of 6 of the resume examples on this site. List the language in your skills section, then show it in a bullet with what you built and how big it was. Interviewers test every language you list, so keep the list to what you can code in today.
Spell it the way postings do
An applicant tracking system matches the words in the posting and does not reliably treat two spellings as one skill. Most postings write Java. Other spellings people use: Core Java, Java SE. Use the posting's own spelling for each application.
