Resume, LinkedIn, GitHub (Recruiter Pass)

Your resume is a throughput tool. It should make it easy for a recruiter and hiring manager to say “this person fits”.

Resume principles

• one screen = one story
• lead with impact and ownership
• numbers beat adjectives

Bullet formula

"Did X by doing Y, resulting in Z" (with constraints/tradeoffs when relevant)

Example:

• Reduced p95 latency by 35% by adding caching + query optimization, improving checkout completion rate.

LinkedIn

• headline: target role + credibility
• about: 5–7 lines, specific strengths
• featured: 2–3 strong projects or talks

GitHub

Focus on 1–2 repos that show:

• readable code
• tests
• docs
• real operational thinking (monitoring, deployment notes)

Avoid a graveyard of half-finished repos.
