The biggest change I made that got me into FAANG 8 years ago was focusing on numbers. Instead of saying "I built blabla with blabla languages" I wrote "Improved blabla through specific features which increased blablablaa by x%". Anything measurable will help you in the CV process :)

I have interviewed and hired more than 120+ Software Engineers of all levels starting from the Intern and ending with the Lead sometimes making the final hiring decision. Overall I would say that it's kind of a myth that the resume should be no more than one page. Apart from that it should be as long as the experience dictates of course within reasonable let's say 3-4 pages are also fine. If the experience is even wider and longer having tons of decent achievements then it might be a little longer than that meaning 5 pages. Of course, the most recent experience requires more description in comparison with the past one. Regarding sections. Usually, the first thing which is taken into consideration while seeing a resume is a summary of objectives which comes very first. It's a great chance to read what candidates can bring to the table same as their personal characteristics. After that comes the section containing the skills the candidate has. That is a vital section and should come one of the first ones since recruiters are usually looking for keywords in a resume keeping that section as the first source of truth. Regarding the experience in each and the next job here, I definitely agree that the sentence of responsibilities should look like "Developed ...", "Produced"... etc. However, these should be as bullets, not plain text. So in that case it's just harder to read plain text instead of bullets. Besides that, it's vital to have the Technologies section under each job which will present again keywords containing technologies used/learned at the particular job. It's also an important point during the hiring to understand what kind of skills the candidate has learnt as well as technologies they are familiar with. To sum up: It's fine having a resume of more than 1 page. An ideal resume should have the following sequence of sections: 1. First name last name, position, location, contact information 2. Summary of objectives (bullets and plain text) 3. Skills 4. Experience (the longest section) 5. Education 6. Languages 7. Everything else Having such a layout always made it easy for me as a technical interviewer or team lead who is looking for a new team member as well as a recruiter to quickly identify keywords, the list of viable skills and responsibilities to decide if that candidate is worth moving forward or not.

I would put content for experience in bullet points? Several questions: - It looks like you have a lot of spaces there and your content seems spread out, shouldn't we try to make it as dense as possible to fit more (necessary) information? For some, a lot of spaces may indicate you don't have enough to write (relevantly, of course) - Regarding (business) impact, often in tech the business impact isn't clear, how would you go about that? Would you just hypothesize what the impact would be and estimate the numbers? - How do you think we could distinguish our CV to get into big tech? I think your advices are good, some of them standard CV advice. I think a lot of average-good applicants would apply these advices. So amongst the good applicant pool of CVs entering big tech hiring, how do you really differentiate yourself amongst the top applicants that have already applied?
@CSJackie
Жыл бұрын
Points 2 and 3 are kind of connected, I believe you differentiate yourself by having real, tangible impact through the projects you contribute on. In addition, having a side project that actually works and is deployed to production serving real users will set you aside too. Hope it helps!

I did remove some information for privacy reasons and it shortened the page :) rather than adding information just for the sake of filling out the space, I'd suggest spacing out the content by adding more space in between lines or paragraphs. However, if you feel like there's value in adding more details in your experience or education, then you should 100% add them!
