resume triage w/alishah novin
guest: alishah novin, resume reviewer on the episode's resume triage segment
- put your tech stack and technical experience above personal projects so hiring managers see your strongest skills first
- always include months and years for every job, not just years, or it looks like you are hiding something
- write resume bullets around accomplishments and impact, not just daily duties, since recruiters already know the basic job description
- use numbers and comparisons whenever possible, like how your results stack up against an average or goal, not just raw stats alone
- keep your resume format clean and scannable since hiring managers skim fast and a dense or dark page gets set aside
