Application Support Manager Resume

An application support manager resume should be drafted with an aim to demonstrate your ability to provide high quality support to the development and testing team, while highlighting your proficiency in root cause diagnosis, analysis, problem resolution, and database management. Where technical skills matter the most, you need to dedicate a considerable amount of space in your resume for showcasing your technical knowledge. You need to keep your application customized to the employer's needs, where your interests and qualities trace back to the requirements or the specifications of the job you're seeking. By being specific to the company's vision, you can link your interests to the organizational goals, which would indicate that you've taken adequate efforts in crafting your application, which in turn shows your longing for the opportunity, and thus will successfully engage the reader in your application.

Before you commence writing

Prior to drafting your application, take some time cruising through the company website, where you'll come across their vision statement. Understand their goals and take a look at their recent posts to know their current affairs. This would help you determine their needs. If you seek more clarity as to what they expect to see in your application, then it's recommended that you contact the company and discuss your application with one of the recruiters, which will open up some space for discussing their needs as well. Make a note of what the recruiters say, so that you can incorporate them while writing your resume. Now, note down all the skills that you possess, and select those which hold significance and value, when compared to the new job specifications.

A catchy title

Start your resume with your contact details, followed by a career objective, which serves as a title for your resume. Here, you need to create a link between the your goals and the needs of the employer. You need to specify your current designation, the area of expertise, and your total experience within the sector, while attempting to show your willingness to share their vision. Ensure that you do not exceed the length of two sentences, and try to avoid addressing your interests alone. Your objective must be able to capture the attention of the reader, who will be busy shuffling through hundreds of applications.

Keeping the reader engaged

Strive to keep your application personalized to a considerable extent, the recruiter will seek justification for the amount of efforts you claim to have put into drafting your application. You need to work towards keeping the reader deeply interested in your profile. You need to adopt measures that help you enhance the value of your profile. See the sample of the application support manager resume shown below. Following the objective, you'll see a short section, comprising of about 6-8 points. This section addresses the previous job roles the candidate has executed. Where there is a need for managing the amount space you utilize, you need to summarize your experience into a quick, easy-to-absorb section.

Eliminate all those points that hold low or no relevance to the new job description. Only elaborate on those aspects which are significantly connected to the requirements put down by the employer. If you are unable to fit them all within 8 points, try clubbing together multiple details, so as to keep it compact, yet highly informative. The reader must feel satisfied of his reading experience.

Similarly, showcase your technical, interpersonal, and managerial skills, highlighting them all using bullets, as shown in the application support manager resume sample below. Then, include the basic details pertaining to your employment history, excluding the job descriptions. Also, your educational qualification need not be elaborated. Now, you may enlist any of your accomplishments pertaining to your profession, or even quote some of the extra-curricular activities carried out during your employment, such as organizing employee tours, industrial trips etc.

Some employers insist that you provide references, in which case you need to provide the contact details of any two superiors you've worked under, preferably during your recent employments. Observe the sample resume below and adopt its layout, taking tips for framing effectively engaging sentences, and understanding the nature of customization. Strive to achieve perfection and consistency in the flow of information.
