Here are a few tips on how to include a coding bootcamp on your resume:

  1. Include it under education: List the bootcamp as a separate education entry, along with your degree(s) and other formal education. Include the name of the bootcamp, the dates you attended, and the location.
  2. Emphasize what you learned: Highlight the specific skills, technologies, and programming languages you learned during the bootcamp. Be sure to use relevant keywords that will help your resume get past automated screening systems.
  3. Add a project: If you completed a capstone project or other significant project as part of the bootcamp, consider including it on your resume, along with a brief description of what you did and what you learned.
  4. Be honest: Be honest about what the bootcamp entailed, what you accomplished and what you actually learned.
  5. Use an appropriate format: Use a clear and consistent format that makes your resume easy to read and understand.
  6. Tailor the resume to the job: Tailor the information you include on your resume to the specific job you're applying for.

You can use the above tips as guidelines and modify them as per your requirement and experience. It’s always a good idea to have a few different versions of your resume tailored to different types of jobs and industries.
