Professional summary/objective
Keep the job description available so you can pull keywords and other relevant skills to use. Many CVs are run through an applicant tracking system (ATS) before they are read by recruiters, so knowing exactly what they are looking for is very important. Be sure to match your skill sets to those the position asks for. Similarly, the work experience section needs to include all relevant experience related to software development. This can include any previously-held positions or internships. If you are a recent graduate, elaborate on academic courses and projects related to software development.

Cover letters can be the recruiters’ first impression of who you are as an employee. Your CV tells them all about your experience, but recruiters are also interested in how you apply that experience. There is no better way to do that than with a formal cover letter. Some job descriptions will say that writing a cover letter is optional. However, it is always a good idea to include one anyway. This will make you stand out from other candidates who didn’t bother to write one.
