  The terrifying reality regarding your resume is that for all the many hours you put into fine-tuning, you’ve got 30 seconds to make an impression on me. Maybe less.

  A resume will never define who you are. It’s not the job of your resume to give me a complete picture, and if you’re struggling to include every last detail about who you are, you’re wasting your time. Your resume should be designed to give me a glimpse and a hook.
  
  The glimpse is a view into the most recent years of your professional career. It should convey your three most important accomplishments and it should give me a good idea where your technical skills lie.
  
  The hook is more important. The hook will leave me with a question. Maybe it’s something from your other interests section? How about an objective so outlandish that I can’t help but set up a phone screen. I’m not suggesting that you make anything up, I’m asking you to market yourself in a way that I’m going to remember. A resume is not a statement of facts. It’s a declaration of intent.

  • Yes, it does, but I still don’t read it
  • I’ll derive from job history
  • I skip the skills section
  • this is another skip section for me.
  • I’m going to learn that from a phone screen and from an interview
  • “Ok, I saw something I liked in the first pass, is it real?
  • Do your responsibilities match your title?
  • can I get a sense of how you grew?
  • spend your time making sure I’m going to get the most complete picture
  • but I’ve made just as many bad hires from these colleges as great ones.
  • Seeing a non-Computer Science degree is not a warning flag
  • Any technical major for me is perfectly acceptable
  • so they shove every possible buzzword into their resume
  • Don’t include any keyword or buzzword that you aren’t comfortable talking about at length.
  • the ones I’m spending time on are the ones that grab me visually, where there is something different
  • What did this guy actually do?
  • usage of this style is tantamount to saying nothing at all.
  • but I’m the guy who is really going to take apart your resume
  • I honestly want to know what you do. Tell me a story
  • Any job teaches you something.
  • Your resume should be designed to give me a glimpse and a hook.
  • glimpse
  • hook is more important
  • market yourself in a way that I’m going to remember
  • It’s a declaration of intent.
  • Those who make that job easier for the resume reader will find themselves in a better position as well as help the reader be in a better position.
