Resume Writing Tips
The following tips are based on what we've learned from helping over 100,000 job seekers create a resume with our resume builder.
Looking for programmer or software developer resume advice? Most companies use these terms interchangeably, so this advice should be valid.
Add the Right Sections
Most recruiters only spend a few seconds on an initial resume scan. Make sure to optimize this time by including the right sections in the right order.
- Resume summary
- Work experience section
- Education section
- Skills section
The ordering of these sections should change based on how many years of experience you have. An entry-level job seeker should start with skills and education (a functional resume), otherwise use the order above (a reverse chronological resume).
Software Engineer Skills
Which skills should you include on your resume? Look at the job description. It will list the skills that the recruiter is going to be looking for. Make a list of those skills, check which you have, and include the relevant ones in your resume.
Skip the soft skills, anyone can claim them, and recruiters generally ignore them.
Here are some popular skills for software engineering resumes to use as inspiration.
- Python
- Java
- JavaScript
- PHP
- Swift
- Go
- SQL
- REST APIs
- GraphQL
- AWS
- SQL Server
- MySQL
- React
- jQuery
- HTML
- CSS
- XML
- JSON
- Linux
- Git
- GitHub
- Node.js
- Agile
- Scrum
- TDD
- Open source software
- Unit tests
- E2E tests
- Development lifecycle
Use Proper Formatting
A well-formatted resume is easier for recruiters and hiring managers to read. This means for the same 7-second scan; they'll get more info from your resume and are more likely to be impressed.
Follow these tips for a perfectly formatted resume (or check out our resume templates with automatic formatting).
- Use an easily readable font size, line length, and margins. It doesn't matter how much you fit on your resume if it's hard to read and gets skipped.
- Use short bullet points to highlight your work experience. Multiple line bullet points and paragraphs are harder to scan.
- Have a clear header section that contains your name and contact info.
- Use font size, bolding, and color to emphasize the essential parts of your resume.
- If you apply with a cover letter, follow these same rules and ideally use the same formatting.
