^ A copy of my resume which you can use as inspiration.

My advice:

  • No more than 1 page back & front. Use LinkedIn for overflow content. My career spans 22 years, but my resume really only showcases the last 9 years of work history with a reference to LinkedIn for my full history.
  • List key hard skills. This is one of the first things I look at as a hiring manager to filter through a list of candidates.
  • Don’t underestimate discussing soft skills. I may be hiring you to write JavaScript, but understanding how you work with other team members, manage expectations, and communicate both internally and externally are a few things that are useful to know when evaluating candidates.
  • I don’t care what your interests are in your resume. I’ll ask about your work/life balance habits/goals if you reach the in-person part of the interview.
  • If you have irrelevant work that you're thinking about including (example: I worked at a retail clothing store for a brief period), try to make it fit the narrative, otherwise just exclude it. I care less about seeing you maintained any job and more about if your past work experience aligns with what I’m seeking.

Tools like Page Speed Insights and Google Lighthouse are great for providing advice for front end performance issues. But what these tools can’t do, is evaluate performance across your entire stack of distributed services and applications.
