Advice on Resumes...
Keep it short. As short as possible anyway.
Keep it readable. Plug what you write into Microsoft Word, or some other tool that measures readability, and aim for like a 9th grade reading level. Grammarly can help.
Keep it relevant. Use a tool like JobScan to make sure the keywords line up. Why? Because recruiters are lazy and use these tools to sift through the applicants.
Talk about your achievements, using numbers. Not: I did the thing everyone with the role does... Instead: I wrote code that improved page load weights by 50% and times by 75% using Foo and Var for website that got 20M views a month; this will save BumbleCo over $7M next 24 months in AWS charges.
List some reviews. Don't assume they're going to go to your LinkedIn. People are lazy. Recruiters are people. HR generally doesn't know anything about the subject matter at hand, and can only read into personality, accolades, and "culture" fit. Your first goal is to get past them.
