Can I get a resume review please? I want to start targeting FAANG but I'm not sure if my experience is really relevant. Applied to a few a couple start ups to get some LC & interview reps but I’ve been getting ghosted for the most part so far so I’m assuming my resume is the issue. TC: Peanuts Thanks #engineering #software #swe #resume
You should list some accomplishments which are hard engineering problems or these where you utilized some cutting edge technologies. Or where you took initiative on some bigger technical problem and drive it to success. Business impact is important, but that blog redesign example I read as you played with Wordpress plugin and someone in marketing was stoked. When I interview folks , I like to ask about project which was really hard technologically and they are super proud of. Why it was hard, what was the hardest part and what they learned there. Now try to answer that question yourself and apply it to your not-so-impressive resume 0% chance that you will get interviews at FAANG with this. For that you want to have distributed systems experience operated with high availability at large scale, not redesigning blogs. Chase tough problems to solve to build your story, which you can sell later.
Should also use numbers to show some sort of measurable impact I might add
Thanks, didn't even realize I wasn't incorporating tech stack in my bullet points
You’re getting ghosted because the bullet points aren’t impressive
