I reviewed hundreds of resumes this month. So.. What should be in your resume? What stands out? Thread.

Have every friend you know edit your resume. Use Grammarly (free) to find any issues. Usually a mistake is hard to find when you make it, but it’s the first thing someone reviewing it will see.

Keep your resume to one page and focus on your biggest accomplishments at each job. Don’t list every job and project you’ve ever had.

Tailor your resume to the job. If the job calls for Ember and you’ve used React for the last two years? Expand on a former job where you used Ember in the past or feature a side project. No ember experience? Share an example of a time you taught yourself something fast.

PROPER FORMATTING. Don’t send a resume out that has issues with spacing and random mismatched bullet points.

List only relevant skills in your resume. Focus on emphasizing the technologies you want to get a job in. Don’t list every piece of tech you haven’t used in years.

Be specific about wins in your resume. Say “I created a program that matched 40 mentees with mentors and led to XYZ.” Don’t say “Mentored engineers.”
