Can I please get an honest review of my resume? Target is FAANG like companies. What are some things I am lacking, or anything I need to remove/add or anything you can think of. Really appreciate it. #faang #resume #advice #careeradvice
Lgtm. I don’t think the skills are particularly valuable, I’d remove those and put your education at the top. You’re very junior but delivered some value in the < 1 year you’ve been working. Good enough to get in the door for FAANG entry level. Others should weigh in though if they think filtering through some ocr / indexing would provide value. Good luck
Thank you, and yeah this place expects a lot from junior dev. You get full projects and are in charge of designing it, developing them and even deploying it. It's a wild wild West here lol.
My advice- skills after experience. Education last and you have a lot of empty space. I would decrease the margins, and spaces between sections. Maybe add a column to the right with skills and any volunteer work or technical hobbies that you can represent as side/ independent projects, languages, any PM experience or any master thesis work that can expand more on what your interest/ focus is. Needs to indicate areas that you’re interested in or can grow into. Also reduce language- no need to indicate “designed/ engineered and implemented”. The “implemented” aspect should be implied in the bullet. Try the following: - Designed sso leveraging Azure AD for native applications. Resulting in a 30% reduction in login time and 20% reduction in related support tickets. - Engineered placement and recall tool for debit collection ( add more about the engineering project and project management). - Tooling implementation achieved a 70% decrease in tech support due to optimized code automating legacy procedures. (Or give the efficiency metric but be prepared to support how the metric was measured) - Enhansed integration by (develop and configure is so similar- maybe “developing”or “maturing” or some combo of synonyms) Azure Logic automating intake management of webhooks from third partys. I hope this helps
I have worked for Meta/ Facebook, Capital one in dev, and Tiktok and currently a hiring manager. This is what I look at when looking for SWEs
