Thai New Year has already passed! This marks the beginning of a new era, and it’s the perfect time to give your tech career a good spruce-up! You wouldn’t let your home get cluttered, and it’s exactly the perfect time to declutter your tech career. Here are some tips to reboot your career, highlighting your skills and go further with your professional presence. Let’s take a look at what you can do! 

Refresh Your Resume 

Dust off the cobwebs

Take a critical look at your resume, figure out whether it is time for an update. Your resume should reflect your latest responsibilities, achievements, and skills. Update your work history, highlight successful projects, and don’t forget to showcase any certifications that you have earned while working. 

Tailor your resume 

Be careful not to use a one-size-fits-all approach. To make your resume stand out, tailor it to each specific job that you are applying for. Highlight relevant skills and experiences that are looked for in the job description. 

Keywords are key! 

Research the key skills and technologies that are required for your dream job and use those keywords strategically throughout your resume. 

Brush Up Your Skills 

Sharpen your skills 

Technology is constantly changing and evolving. Identify any gaps in your skillset and take steps to fill them by taking online courses, coding bootcamps, or industry certifications to stay ahead of the curve. 

Practice your skills 

Learning new skills is important, but don’t forget to practice your existing skills actively. Participate in personal projects, contribute to open-source software, or look for online coding challenges to upgrade your abilities. 

Clean Up Your Online Presence 

Revamp your LinkedIn Profile 

Recruiters are always lurking on LinkedIn. Consider your LinkedIn profile as your online resume. Update your bio, highlight your accomplishments, and showcase your expertise to advertise yourself to the recruiters that can come across your profile. 

Build your online brand 

Contribute to industry discussions online, share your knowledge through blog posts or articles, or you can actively engage with other tech professionals to gain more exposure. Not only does this create a more tight-knit connection between the people within your industry but it can also demonstrate your passion and expertise. 

Sprucing up your resume and sharpening your skills are extremely crucial, but don’t forget to reconnect with your network as well! Attend industry events or online meetups to expand your network and stay in the loop about new opportunities! 

Don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone, explore new technologies, learn new skills, and network with different people.
