Here are some key takeaways:

1. A great resume fits the job

Whatever position you’re applying for, go through the job ad, and tailor your CV. Highlight or add any relevant experience you might have.

2. Highlight achievements

Highlighting achievements, projects you’ve delivered and their impact is a great way to get attention. Very few applicants do this, but it shows a business mindset, and awareness of your work beyond the code you write.

3. Focus on hard skills

A software engineer resume is all about hard skills. There is no need to show communication training. Recruiters generally assume you’re fine in that department, and don’t even think about it before they call you for an interview.

+1 Resumes are a poor way to filter candidates

The resume process, especially at big companies isn’t working well. There is no efficient alternative, but there are methods to make it better. It may be hiring outside help, doing coding challenges, and some other options.

There is no room to get deep into the details here, so check out the full interview for a deep dive on the tech resume topic:
