Here's some unsolicited feedback. Sorry that it's public, but I hope this helps other people as 1:N broadcast format:<p>- Bold is good, but it's too much.<p>- Never use underline in a CV. Lines and boxes are OK if they break up sections.<p>- Color tends to get lost and could trip-up some document scanners.<p>- Two columns is kind of cramped and doesn't work well with résumé scanners. Instead, put that stuff at the bottom.<p>- Center name (first and last), title, and city. Make the intro tagline shorter.<p>- English copy writing - Reduce use of hollow adjectives and adverbs like "actually", "really", "especially".<p>- Tech differentiation - Name specific, hot frameworks beyond just what everyone else lists. 2010-2015 it was C++, Java, JavaScript, and SQL on every darn résumé. Zzz.<p>- Business impact - Excellent! This is what makes software engineers valuable. Try to introduce specific cases where you solved a problem. Especially gold moments are where you saved the business significant money, shipped features fast, or were the hero.<p>- Github links - Awesome! If it finally makes its way to a real hiring manager who coded or a tech lead, they can get a sense of how clean and understandable your code is.<p>Remember that if you give a technical recruiter your résumé in .docx or .txt format, they're probably going to edit it before sending it on to hiring companies. Please ask the recruiter to let you see and approve changes because you don't want them to exaggerate or lie about your qualifications.<p>Also, you can disintermediate the role of a technical recruiter if you have good social and sales skills to work with HR and hiring managers of hiring companies. This requires a bit more ambiguity navigation, patience, assertiveness, and finesse than is customarily expected of a job candidate. Remember that if you go this route, you're there to deliver a helpful, assertive, customer service approach facilitating their hiring pipeline to fill their open jd's/req's. Follow-up, ping gently with exponential backoff, and inject a little humor to keep life interesting.<p>Bring good vibes and find a situation that's most interesting and comfortable for all.<p>PS: What really helped me early on was a life lesson where my parents forced me to sell candy bars door-to-door in residential neighborhoods. Thousands of doors. Rejection is a muscle to be built up with numbers while being careful to create and nudge interest towards "yes" with care.
