In my 13+ years of software engineering experience, I've reviewed a lot of resumes.
Some of the most common issues I discovered.
Don’t make your resume too long.
-Recruiters/Interviewers are busy with their daily coding issues while they need to take the interview as well and reviewing dozens of resumes at any given time.
-They don’t have the time to read all lengthy resumes.
-A two-page resume is fine
Stay consistent in formatting/font.
-Try to pick one font and make sure you use it throughout the entire document.
-Use bullet points, but only use one type.
-Make sure your text spacing is consistent.
-Commit to a consistent comma strategy.
Talk more about your achievements.
-Highlight How You Impacted Success
-Quantify Your Accomplishments
-Include Action Words
-Qualify Your Accomplishments
Use a resume template that stands out from the crowd.
-Use a professional design.
-Stick to a one-column template.
-Order each section strategically.
-Can use Canva as well
At last, don't be a prisoner of your past resume.
The interviewer want a candidate who brings value today.
They are interested in your future plans, how quickly & effectively you can change the game.
Stay relevant today✔
