Keep it to one page Recruiters skim resumes in seconds. Keep the strongest material visible on one page, trimming older or less relevant entries before shrinking fonts or margins. **94% of 17** 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 communicate more than coursework, move experience above education. **94% of 16** resumes whose sections were readable 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 one yet, use a projects section to explain what you built, the tools used, and the result. **94% of 17** resumes read in full list at least one internship or co-op; a typical resume lists three roles, and **81%** 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. A typical resume has **17 bullet points**, and **53%** carry a figure. ### 5. List your GPA if it helps you Include your GPA when it is near or above the collection’s average; otherwise, let coursework and projects carry the education section. **30%** of the 20 resumes list a GPA on a 4.0 scale, and those GPAs average **3.66**. ### 6. Name specific skills and tools List languages, frameworks, and tools you have actually used. Group them by type and use terminology from the job description. Skip soft skills; demonstrate them through your bullets. A typical resume lists **22 skills**. ## Top skills | Skill | Share of resumes | Resumes | | --- | ---: | ---: | | Node.js | 75% | 15 | | React.js | 55% | 11 | | JSON | 30% | 6 | | App Developer | 30% | 6 | | Ionic Framework | 30% | 6 | | C++ Programming | 30% | 6 | | CAD/CAM | 30% | 6 | | AWS | 25% | 5 | | Pandas | 25% | 5 | | PostgreSQL | 25% | 5 | | Python | 25% | 5 | | PyTorch | 25% | 5 | ## Resumes by the numbers Based on 20 resumes, updated **Aug 25, 2026**: | Measure | Result | | --- | --- | | Verified interviews | 3 confirmed to have landed the interview | | Level | 95% intern; 5% freelance | | Top schools | University of California, Berkeley; Palestine Polytechnic University; Schoolcraft College | | Top skills | Node.js, React.js, JSON, App Developer, Ionic Framework | | Also passed screening at | Amazon, Cisco, Capital One | | Average GPA | 3.66 on a 4.0 scale, across the 6 resumes that list one | | Length | 94% are one page | | Internships | 94% list at least one internship or co-op | | Roles listed | 3 on a typical resume | | Highest degree | Bachelor’s, 94% | | Fields of study | Computer Science (11); Data Science (3) | | Graduation years | 2027 (6); 2026 (4) | Length, internships, roles, degrees, fields of study, graduation years, and employers use the **17 resumes read in full**. ## FAQ ### Are these real Software Engineer resumes?
