Resume for software engineering jobs at product-based companies
Resume, or as old school people like to call, Curriculum Vitae (CV) is one of the most important things that you need to focus on while looking for a job. It is usually the first impression that you make on the company.
Having reviewed multiple resumes, I’ve seen a few common mistakes that people make. To help candidates create a good resume that might help them get shortlisted at product-based companies, I’ve listed down the DOs and DONTs of resume making through a QnA format.
Most of these should be valid for you irrespective of your years of experience (students, freshers, experienced professionals) or your role (SDE/Fullstack/Backend/Frontend/Mobile/SDET/SRE/DevOps Engineer).
Questions I’ve answered through the article:
