First of all, resume standards may depend on your country. I'll assume US.
* Start with your basic information (name, email, etc) and a short (as in 2 sentences) summary of what you're trying to achieve.
* List your skills and stick to technologies. Don't mention the whole "organized, fast learner, good team member" shit. It is unquantifiable and assumed from a professional. Everything you list should be briefly mentioned either as part of a past job XP, or a side project.
* List your work experiences. Use action verbs and highlight what you did and how it helped the company.
* List your side projects with links to demo and repo
* List your education.
Don't add the "hobby" section. nobody cares that you like rock climbing or walking your dog.
- throwaway191106 7y agoThanks for responding! I'm actually based in Europe although most companies I've been applying to are originally from the US. I think I have all the things you mentioned except for the summary at the beginning. In my work experience I've been trying to put things into concrete numbers and to mention the technologies I've worked with. Given what I mentioned in the post, do you think there is something I'm lacking in and should work to expand upon?
