 1 | # Resume for Full Stack Developer
 2 | 
 3 | Last month, I reviewed 100+ resumes and distilled some key tips to make your tech resume stand out in the competitive field.
 4 | 
 5 | ## 1. Quick Scan Technique:
 6 | 
 7 | - Take 10 seconds to scan your resume from the beginning.
 8 | - Focus on the first half-page, reading the first 5 words of each sentence or bullet point.
 9 | - Ensure your resume is packed with developer-oriented language like "Developed a REST API" or "Built a full-stack web app."
10 | 
11 | ## 2. Tell a Story:
12 | 
13 | - Your resume should flow like a story, avoiding a laundry list of technical jargon.
14 | - Use a format like [ACCOMPLISHMENT, IMPACT, CHALLENGE] to explain achievements.
15 | - Example: "Developed a server-side layout engine in iOS, teaching myself GoLang to automate 1000+ manual layouts. Worked with a coworker to drive the project to completion, launching company-wide."
16 | 
17 | ## 3. Pitfalls to Avoid:
18 | 
19 | - Skip non-engineering words like "Documented" or "Supported." Focus on development skills.
20 | - Keep low-priority information (hobbies, irrelevant skills) towards the bottom.
21 | - Don't spend too much time explaining the company or team; highlight personal contributions.
22 | 
23 | ## 4. Last Impressions Count:
24 | 
25 | - Your resume has a last impression too.
26 | - Avoid ending with forgettable details.
27 | - Consider adding a touch of personality by sharing a cool hobby or project.
28 | - Make yourself memorable as someone people want to meet.
