Great tips, Molly! In case somebody's still following this useful post, I'd like to add something. I also have one resume recommendation I always give: USE ACTIVE VERBS IN YOUR 'EXPERIENCE' SECTION.
As I see from CV Compiler users, candidates often limit themselves with plain descriptions of their duties. Instead, I recommend using the 'golden rule' for creating bullet points:
Accomplished [X] as measured [Y] by doing [Z].
This is a common tip, but somehow developers often miss it when crafting their tech resumes.

I love that formula!!! I have never heard that one before, thanks for sharing!
