DO's

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. In addition to contact information, add links to your GitHub and other social profiles- LinkedIn or Twitter.

DONT's

1. Do not write paragraphs of your work experience. Use Bullets to describe the work you did.
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.

Always include your contact information clearly at the top of your resume/CV to make it possible for people to contact you!

At the company I currently work for applications get sent in to our recruitment software from various sources (i.e. recruitment websites) and while the resume document uploaded as part of the submission is sent to us, I have found that some of these sites do not seem send us contact information for candidates in addition to the resume.

Last year I was not able to contact several interesting candidates for Dev roles we had open because their resume did not contain contact details.

You need to consider what will happen if the resume is printed or downloaded and saved elsewhere and candidates screened that way; if your name and contact details are not included on your resume how can you expect to be contacted for interview?

I now put my Linktree at the top of my resume I believe that is one of the BEST things you can do. Because the recruiter or hiring manager will have full access to all of your profiles. GitHub, portfolio, social media, blogs etc...

It's makes for a good first impression.

John Comeau has an excellent free downloadable book on the subject. A genuinely insightful read.

Looking to collaborate with some one.

Do 90 interviews.

I have spent considerable time reading resumes on the interview panel, doing resume reviews and talking to recruiters and here are some things that will help folks stand out.

Some pre-conditions

1. Recruiters spend only a few seconds on each resume to see if you are a fit.
2. Most Recruiters and Hiring managers are looking for specific skills.
3. Some applicant tracking systems and recruiters use something they call a "Boolean" to filter based on specific keywords.
4. Humans are attracted to numbers and results.

You can now leverage this information to improve your resume.

Some steps that will help you stand out.
1. Sections:
If you have any experience, add it before any other section on the resume. Make sure the top half of the resume is crisp and gives the right set of information to the reader.

2. Target:
Hiring managers and the team spend a lot of time crafting Job Descriptions. Take a look at it and see if your resume is missing some relevant skills and add a point around it in your resume if it applies.

If you are applying to an Android role, have mostly Android related projects and experience points. Some resumes tend to have a lot of different technologies and projects that does not align with the role.

3. Experience Points:
Experience Section is a great place to talk about what you did and how it impacted the business you worked at. Use numbers and other quantifiers to drive a solid point related to your previous work. This will help catch the recruiter's attention and show how impactful you have been. Read the wiki on STAR format.

4. A/B Test
Some of these tips will help you, but it is always better to test if your resume is working for you. If it does, double down on it or else modify and try.

These are some tips that I followed in the middle of the pandemic to get a bunch of offers from big tech companies and startups and I hope it helps someone here.

Based on my job search journey and challenges I ended up building an app resumepuppy.com with my classmates to help others land interviews. If anybody checks it out, happy to hear feedback.

All the best!

Dos:

• Be good at what you're doing.
• Your Github; showing code you have written. I want to see what you have created with your own hands. Code style. Cleanliness. Etc. I can tell a lot from looking at code for a minute.
• Interests
• Upwork scores if you have them.
• Keep it short.

Don't:

• Be not good at what you're doing. If you feel you're middling, find something youre great at and do that. Everyone's a genius at something. Nobody is here to be mediocre.
• Github full of forks and copied code

When hiring I found there's talkers and doers, and the rare people who are both. I want to sift out the talkers, and hire the doers. Talking about code or elaborate setups don't ship products. I've wasted a lot of time on people who talk a lot but code very little. And I've seen unbelievable productivity from people who didn't say very much.
