Hello, I want to start by saying I’m a relatively new grad whose having immense difficulty finding a software engineering role. I want my blind page to eventually serve as a full 0 to hero guide for people in the same boat and figured I’d start with my resume. I’ve iterated over it quite a few times and have made it to mimic some friends who’ve landed roles at Microsoft, Apple, and DoorDash but I haven’t even been getting past the initial filtering ( I often change keywords to match roles as well). Does anyone have tips for improvement? I’ve removed some details to prevent from being identified of course. Thanks in advance for any and all help. #engineering #software #swe #newgrad
You need bullet points for your work experience. I’m not sure how your friends landed an interview from other big tech companies without writing it in bullet points
Work experience, put it in bullets, so format matches the bottom, dont saythings like so far im managing....etc, use action verbs
I have no doubt you are very talented and you will get a great job. You just have to show it on your resume and I will be happy to help audit again if you want. Good luck 🍀
Much appreciated thank you!
It could be just me, but unless you are applying for crypto/web3/DeFi companies or roles that want Blockchain experience, listing NFT experience kind of turns me off and would associate you with an opportunist, especially in the time of downturn with blood on the street. Again, it's just me.
So don’t list it even if it’s technical in nature and was a leadership position? I don’t approach it from an opportunistic standpoint it’s a technology I enjoy. And all the nft projects do involve actual coding with established and newer technologies.
Drop the Realtor and College advisor experiences. Never mention you were terminated/laid off. Add more projects. Remove extracurriculars
Got it. To be honest I’d literally have 1 role though if I remove those and for delta do I just not mention how long I was there? I mean it was due to Covid nothing of my own fault.

Your product manager role does not have a company name. Please add a company name and mention the name of the city where the company is based. Change programming and framework into one single “skills” section, chances of bots picking up that is higher . In the product manager section, add your most challenging task, actions taken, and impact of your actions in a quantifiable way. See STAR methods for this. Please remove the word “ideation”. It does not mean anything. I would highly recommend removing one of the older work experience and elaborate more on projects and your pm work experience.
Maybe also mention the technologies you used in each of these projects, if it was deployed, did you face any challenges after deploy.
Removed it for identifying reasons.
