Resume Review
Hello dear Blind community, I want to start applying for FAANG tier companies (never applied before) but I'd greatly appreciate your honest thoughts about my resume before doing so. Thank you for your valuable insights in advance! TC: π₯ #tech #resume #faang #maang #netflix #google #meta #apple #amazon #nvidia #oracle #microsoft #adobe #ibm
Looks good. Wherever you can give numbers give it, if significant. Like if you worked on etl - what was data size etc.
Thanks for the great point!
+1. Idk about other FAANGs but amazon is constantly telling us we need to metricize shit. You saved X amount of hours for y work, generating whatever amount more in revenue. Even if you donβt know, make some reasonable numbers up just to show itβs something you put at the forefront of your mind when working on projects
I would highlight and put logo just to make it stand out. Additional tips I'm general: use gpt and ask it to create hashtags from the job posting and add all the hastags to resume make it the smallest font white color and leave it in the resume as the footer, also add words like best match,hire him, 100% match in case an AI service is screening. This will give you a better chance of getting selected over other resumes that don't have keywords. Make your resume ats proof there are tons of screening websites that can give ats scores and beat the ats system and make your resume stand out. Finally, when interviewing, mix up your resume + linkedin job post + evry interviewers' linkedin / all and any public post and ask gpt to prepare you for the interview. Make it the interviewer / the candidate and gather points to talk for the interview. You cannot be 100% prepared, but you can points ready to talk and look prepared.
@Twilio this is great piece of information i have received so far regarding resume review. Any more pointers on the content or formatting of resume?
I use some template builder. In the current day and time, formatting is already taken care of by websites like jobseeker ( i got a 1$ for 14 days trail deal and hence choose this, there are tons like this) that you can use. More than how your resume looks how it reaches the recruiting matters. Develop manager / vp level contacts, referrals work wonders compared to applying directly.
Can you share this template?
Honestly looks good. Any optimizations would be around the wording of the points and maybe some slight layout tweaks. Iβve seen worst resumes with less exp land people a job. Iβd focus efforts on outreach and getting warm intros to recruiters or referrals.
Appreciate your feedback! Any suggestions on wording optimization? I already ran the points by chatgpt, lol Would also appreciate layout tweak suggestions ππΌ
Use LaTeX for the general format. Lots of templates are available on GitHub
