Keep it to one page Recruiters skim resumes in seconds. Keep your strongest material in view by trimming older or less relevant entries before shrinking the font or margins. **92% of the 474 resumes read in full are one page.** ### 2. Lead with education while you are in school Put your school, degree, and graduation date at the top while you are a student. Once internships say more about you than coursework, move experience above education. **76% of the 403 resumes whose sections we could read put education before experience.** ### 3. Count internships, research, and projects as experience Internships, co-ops, research, and teaching-assistant roles count as experience. If you do not have them yet, use a projects section to show what you built, the tools you used, and the result. **73% of 474 resumes read in full list at least one internship or co-op; a typical resume lists 3 roles; 82% have a projects section.** ### 4. Put a number in your bullet points Open each bullet with what you did and close with the result. Numbers such as users, revenue, latency, accuracy, or hours saved make results concrete and easy to skim. A typical resume has **17 bullet points**, and **47% carry a figure**. ### 5. List your GPA if it helps you Include your GPA if it is near or above the collection average; otherwise, let coursework and projects carry the education section. **28% of the 482 resumes list a GPA on a 4.0 scale, and those GPAs average 3.73.** ### 6. Name specific skills and tools List the languages, frameworks, and tools you have actually used, grouped by type and using the terminology in the job description. Skip soft skills; your bullet points should demonstrate them. The most-listed skills are node.js (44%), React.js (39%), JSON (26%), Python (25%), and Docker (24%). A typical resume lists **25 skills**. ## Top skills on Software Engineer resumes that passed Amazon's screen | Skill | Share of resumes | Resumes | | --- | ---: | ---: | | node.js | 44% | 210 | | React.js | 39% | 187 | | JSON | 26% | 126 | | Python | 25% | 119 | | Docker | 24% | 115 | | Git | 23% | 112 | | SQL | 23% | 111 | | C++ Programming | 22% | 108 | | JavaScript | 22% | 107 | | Ionic Framework | 21% | 103 | | AWS | 21% | 102 | | Java | 20% | 98 | ## Amazon Software Engineer resumes by the numbers Based on **482 resumes**, updated **Nov 3, 2026**. | Measure | Result | | --- | --- | | Verified | 116 confirmed to have landed the interview | | Level | 51% intern, 31% new grad, 17% full-time | | Top schools | Georgia Institute of Technology; Northeastern University; University of California, Berkeley | | Top skills | node.js, React.js, JSON, Python, Docker | | Also passed screening at | Google, Meta, Microsoft | | Average GPA | 3.73 on a 4.0 scale, across the 133 resumes that list one | | Length | 92% are one page | | Internships | 73% list at least one internship or co-op | | Roles listed | 3 on a typical resume | | Highest degree | Bachelor's 57%; Master's 37% | | Fields of study | Computer Science (266); Computer Engineering (28); Information Technology (24); Computer Science and Engineering (23); Software Engineering (13); Computer Science & Engineering (10) | | Graduation years | 2025 (113); 2024 (103); 2026 (87); 2027 (55); 2023 (25) | | Employers on these resumes | Amazon (42); Amazon Web Services (12); Microsoft (11); Google (9); Accenture (8); Tata Consultancy Services (8); Amazon Web Services (AWS) (7); University of Houston (7); Arizona State University (5); Company (5) | Length, internships, roles, degrees, fields of study, graduation years, and employers are based on the **474 resumes read in full**. ## Amazon Software Engineer resume FAQ ### Are these real Software Engineer resumes?
