Essential advice to help you land your dream tech job

1

Lead with Projects

Include 2-3 significant projects with GitHub links. Describe the tech stack and your specific contributions.
2

Quantify Your Impact

Use numbers: "Reduced load time by 40%" or "Built app with 500+ users" is more impactful than vague descriptions.
3

Tailor for ATS

Use keywords from the job description. Many companies use Applicant Tracking Systems to filter resumes.
4

Keep it Concise

One page for students/new grads. Use bullet points, not paragraphs. Prioritize recent and relevant experience.
5

Include Technical Skills

List languages, frameworks, tools, and platforms you're proficient in. Be honest about your skill levels.

1

Start Early

Big tech companies open applications 6-9 months before start dates. Set calendar reminders for application windows.
2

Practice Coding Interviews

Use LeetCode, HackerRank, or CodeSignal daily. Focus on data structures, algorithms, and problem-solving patterns.
3

Build Your Online Presence

Maintain an active GitHub profile. Consider a portfolio website. Engage on LinkedIn and tech communities.
4

Network Strategically

Attend tech meetups, hackathons, and career fairs. Connect with alumni working at target companies.
5

Apply Broadly, But Thoughtfully

Don't limit yourself to FAANG. Mid-size companies often offer better learning opportunities and work-life balance.
