Optimizing Your Resume

Your resume has about 6 seconds to make an impression. Here's how to make them count.

Structure matters

1. Your resume must have two mandatory sections — work experience and projects. Education and skills are optional.
2. Work experience always comes first, sorted from latest to oldest. Include your internships.

Quantify everything

1. Numbers tell the story. Did you scale a product to 10,000 users? Did you optimize request times by 10%? Quantify your impact.
2. Projects are your greatest strength — they prove you can build things. Link to live demos and repos.

A resume isn't a biography. It's an ad. Make every line earn its place.
