Database Administrator Resume — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I quantify database administration achievements?

Cite performance and reliability numbers: "Optimized indexing on a 2TB production database, reducing average query time from 4.2s to 300ms, and maintained a recovery point objective of under 15 minutes."

Lead with the platform matching the job posting (SQL Server vs. Oracle vs. PostgreSQL) since DBA roles are often platform-specific and ATS systems screen for exact product names.
