Great Java Candidate
Full Resume: R0003 at: www.technicalresume.net
"Self Starter, highly motivated in problem-solving and learning skills as well as a keen interest in the emerging technologies." Don't we all...
This one's got the works, Hibernate, Swing, Spring, all the App servers, plus all the good productivity/CM tools like ClearCase, TOAD, Rational, Test Director...I especially like the bold of the individual technologies and tools, plus they're all spelled and capitalized right! Don't find many Vignette alumni around these days, either. Couple of issues:
1 - all those bulleted lists that basically support usage/knowledge of a tool or technology - perhaps condense into a short paragraph, if not already included in a summary technology list...we'd like to know a little more of what your functional/team roles were, plus you wouldn't have to use words like "extensively" and "developed" 50 times!
2 - the long list of technologies under 'Environment' doesn't seem to match the list of things you did in that environment, plus the "long list" seems to be quite a grab bag and not necessarily relevant - you could probably summarize the environment description a bit...
3 - little bombs keep popping up regarding "non-americanized" English and grammar issues; this isn't really a problem, probably, for getting the job done - but as a hiring manager for an American firm, I'd probably like to see that extra care taken with the resume....don't use "keen", ever, and make sure your singular/plurals match!
4 - although it may be tough to validate, most reviewers like to know where the education was received (even if it was in East JBIP!), plus not clear on "post-graduate diploma" vs. "Masters".
5 - is anyone still "highly experienced" on AS/400? Give him a raise!
All in all, a pretty decent resume, but 30% too much content.

Boy I wish I had these credentials...maybe we should hire him (her?) ourselves....:)
I like all the keywords, the resume filters like them too - why not repeat them?
One keyword is enough for most filters to pick out the resume from the crowd, and get it on the recruiters/hiring manager's desk - after that, it's simply annoying to sift through redundant, excessive entries (for 4 pages, here!) - I'd probably end up scanning the thing, and missing the jewels hidden within. (Done it before!)
