Bad VS Good VS Perfect Software Engineer Resumes 👇 Resume tips for software engineers (projects and bullet points) Do these 3 things to instantly improve your resume: - Instead of a link to a GitHub repository, deploy your project and include the link in your resume. Recruiters would rather see what you built. Bonus points if it had an impact (user feedback, metrics). - A simple TODO app is not enough for a project anymore. We are in 2026, not 2019. Build and deploy an AI project with a scalable infrastructure. - Don’t just mention job responsibilities and tasks on your resume. Use the XYZ method: start with the result for more impact. Recruiters only read the left side of your bullet points! 💭 Comment what you think! #career #resume #techjobs #softwareengineer #computerscience
