Resume Template
You’ll get a resume template in a google doc that showcases style elements that worked on me to advance someone to the interview stage when I was a recruiter at Microsoft and TikTok. I’ve also implemented feedback received from recruiter colleagues at Spotify, Twitch, and Lyft, continually updating the template over the years. Recruiters are used to a certain style of resume and if you fit into this standard pattern, it is the beginning of them trending toward a “yes.” You only have one shot at a first impression. Since a recruiter is making a yes or no decision on your candidacy within a few seconds, the style of your resume is critical. I cite this resume template as one of the most important changes my clients implement in moving the needle toward getting more interviews. This template is geared toward folks seeking a software engineer role.
