I've compiled and curated a list of job hunting resources for software developers, it covers resources for writing resumes, applying and managing job applications, efficient ways to prepare for coding interviews, resources to learn system design, you can download the free PDF here.
For this post, I am going to share resources that you can use in putting together a resume to get you interview opportunities:
Step 1: Write down your career stories in resume
- Read Practical guide to writing FAANG-ready software engineer resume
- Read The Tech Resume Inside Out to learn about what a good tech resume looks like and why
- Read Cracking the Coding Interview: check the section Introduction-Before the Interview
Step 2: Vet your resume
Once you finish writing your resume, it is essential to have someone else vet your resume, you can ask your friends to help with proofreading, run it through Grammarly to correct grammar errors, or if your resume has never been vetted before you can find dedicated service on Fiverr to review and edit your resume.
Step 3: Take it further to build your personal brand online
If you have projects you are proud of and can demonstrate your skill sets , you can showcase it with one page websites. You can use Carrd to create simple, free, fully responsive one-page sites for your projects/products.
If you want to take it further to establish a personal brand online as a developer, you should get a domain via registrars such as Namecheap, they usually have very affordable domains.
If you have seen resources that helped your job hunting process, leave a comment and share with more people :)
Next post I will go over apply for jobs and tools to manage job applications. Stay tuned!
