How to make LinkedIn / Resume less boring?
I’m struggling with making it interesting vs listing all my skills. I mean everybody lists things like python, Java, scrum, agile, quantifies a few of individual tasks and then that’s it? I find that so boring. Contrary I’ve seen people write just a sentence or two like “I am exceptional on the use of C” or be much more vague/laconic and secretive. I feel like this would work when applying for a startup as a new grad but what about people with 5+ yoe, aren’t they expected to list tasks and skills specifically?
Ever since I put down my Blind handle and how many Blind points I have earned on my resume, recruiters have been constantly begging me to apply to their companies.
LinkedIn allows adding rich content such as SlideShare, YouTube videos, blog post links and other things to your profile. I find it as a good extension to resume since those are harder to put on resume. My resume has my LinkedIn profile link in the header.
I’ve thought of adding some screenshots of the apps i coded. I’m going to dm you if you don’t mind
I feel like resumes end up not mattering a whole lot as long as you don’t blow it. Even if it’s generic that’s fine I wouldn’t worry about being “creative” or anything like that. Just say what you have done and list out your skills, end of day people are only glancing anyway and main thing they look at is skills listed and previous companies/education.
Beef it up with lots and lots of tech jargon, outside of languages you know
Yeah so they’re gonna follow up on that if they’re any good
Give me details about what you actually do, explain the impact, scope and the scale of your work (amzn recruiter here)
Pmed you
List of skills should take up small part. I want to see accomplishments that demonstrate technical depth, initiative, working with others, understanding how your work moved real-world metrics.
Thx
Not all get this kind of impact work
What have you done and accomplished?
