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. 29 | 30 | 31 | ## Links for Tech Resume Creators 32 | 33 | ### My Top 3 Guides: 34 | - [Resume for Google](https://youtu.be/BYUy1yvjHxE) 35 | - [Killer SWE Resume](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/writing-a-killer-software-engineering-resume-b11c91ef699d/) 36 | - [DOs and DON'Ts for CV](https://workforfang.com/cv) 37 | 38 | ### Templates: 39 | - Overleaf Resume Templates: [Gallery](https://www.overleaf.com/gallery/tagged/cv) 40 | - [Template 1](https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/software-engineer-resume/gqxmqsvsbdjf) 41 | - [Template 2](https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/software-engineer-resume/gqxmqsvsbdjf) 42 | 43 | ### Grammar Check: 44 | - [Grammarly](http://grammarly.com/) (Chrome extension available) 45 | - [LanguageTool](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/grammar-spell-checker-%E2%80%94-l/oldceeleldhonbafppcapldpdifcinji) (Chrome extension) 46 | - [FluentExpress](https://fluent.express/) 47 | - Native-Speaking Friends ([Find One](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)) 48 | 49 | 50 | ### Other Useful Links: 51 | 52 | - TechLeadโ€™s [Resume Workshop](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Xsg761orWNJSlxyJxB8ENgpidqlwq2bx/view) 53 | - [Cracking the Coding Interview](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ww1mRe61HnfSBe2Ofhv_Y8Y-al1XBsBG/view) (includes a chapter with resume advice) 54 | 55 | ### Bonus: 56 | - [Main Resume Tip by Tilek](https://youtu.be/ZPmowXXCWPs) from [OutTalent.com](https://outtalent.com) 57 | 58 | ## Top 10 Free Resume Builders of Freshers.๐Ÿ‘‡ 59 | 60 | 61 | During resume reviews, many of you have asked me where you can build your resume. 62 | 63 | So, I am sharing some free websites where you can create your resumes. 64 | 65 | #1 โ€“ Jobscanโ€™s Resume Builder: [https://lnkd.in/dD4MbKrs](https://lnkd.in/dD4MbKrs) 66 | 67 | #2 โ€“ CakeResume: [https://lnkd.in/d77RXjSh](https://lnkd.in/d77RXjSh) 68 | 69 | #3 โ€“ Resume Genius: [https://resumegenius.com](https://resumegenius.com) 70 | 71 | #4 โ€“ My Perfect Resume: [https://lnkd.in/dX68Xiz4](https://lnkd.in/dX68Xiz4) 72 | 73 | #5 โ€“ Indeed: [https://lnkd.in/d_JYEENJ](https://lnkd.in/d_JYEENJ) 74 | 75 | #6 โ€“ Zety: [https://zety.com](https://zety.com) 76 | 77 | #7 โ€“ [Resume.com](http://Resume.com): [https://www.resume.com](https://www.resume.com) 78 | 79 | #8 โ€“ Novoresume: [https://novoresume.com](https://novoresume.com) 80 | 81 | #9 โ€“ Standard Resume: [https://standardresume.co](https://standardresume.co) 82 | 83 | #10 โ€“ Canva: [https://lnkd.in/d99s_du2](https://lnkd.in/d99s_du2) 84 | 85 | Overleaf : [https://lnkd.in/d6Tei5Y8](https://lnkd.in/d6Tei5Y8) 86 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
