FAQ
Software engineer resume questions
What should a software engineer resume include?
Contact details with GitHub and LinkedIn, a short summary, experience with measurable impact, skills grouped by stack, projects with links, and education.
Should I put projects on my developer resume?
Yes, especially early in your career. Add what it does, the stack, a link, and a result like users, stars or speed.
How do I show impact as a developer?
Use numbers: users served, latency or load time saved, bugs reduced, deploy time cut, revenue or conversion moved.
Is the technical template ATS-friendly?
Yes. It's a single column of real text; only the headings use a monospace font.
