In the midst of a record-low unemployment rate, the prospects for job seekers—especially for those with in-demand technical skills—have almost never been better. Today, there are more jobs available than qualified candidates, meaning job seekers have their pick of the litter when it comes to choosing where they want to work next.

The best way to communicate your talent is to craft an impressive technical resume. With the right mix of relevant experience, accomplishments, and skills, recruiters will be knocking down your door with opportunities.
