PostgreSQL on a resume
By Bhagirath Sheela, founder of JobCatch ·
PostgreSQL is in the skills of 8 of the resume examples on this site. Name the database in your skills, and show it in a bullet about design or performance — a schema you built, a query you made faster, with the numbers.
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 PostgreSQL. Other spellings people use: Postgres, PostgresSQL. Use the posting's own spelling for each application.
