Do

  1. Keep it one page by listing your latest work experience on the top. One tip to keep it short is to list only relevant job experiences
  2. Create a resume website if possible so you can add any additional details into the website and you can also showcase your portfolio on it.
  3. In addition to contact information, add links to your GitHub and other social profiles- LinkedIn or Twitter.

Don’t

  1. Do not write paragraphs of your work experience. Use Bullets to describe the work you did. One thing that really helped me is starting every sentence with an adjective - Developed abc using xyz, architected xxx, Designed, Automated etc
  2. Do not use small fonts to fit in a lot of information. Use good readable font with size 12 or above.
  3. Do not list all the skills that you have, only list the ones that you are proficient with that relate to the job.
