## How to write your Jane Street Software Engineer resume

### 1. Keep it to one page

Recruiters skim resumes in seconds. Keep your strongest material visible by trimming older or less relevant entries before shrinking the font or margins. Of the 30 resumes read in full, 93% 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 your internships say more about you than your coursework, move experience above education. Education comes before experience on 96% of the 27 resumes whose sections we could read.

### 3. Count internships, research, and projects as experience

Internships, co-ops, research, and teaching-assistant roles count as experience. If you do not have those yet, use a projects section to explain what you built, which tools you used, and the result. Among the 30 resumes read in full, 77% list at least one internship or co-op, a typical resume lists 4 roles, and 78% 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 18 bullet points, and 44% carry a figure.

### 5. List your GPA if it helps you

Include your GPA if it is near or above the collection's average; otherwise, let coursework and projects carry the education section. Thirty-three percent of these 30 resumes list a GPA on a 4.0 scale, and those GPAs average 3.75.

### 6. Name specific skills and tools

List languages, frameworks, and tools you have actually used, grouped by type and expressed using the job description's terminology. Skip soft skills; your bullet points demonstrate those. The most-listed skills are node.js (57%), React.js (47%), PostgreSQL (37%), JSON (37%), and C++ Programming (30%). A typical resume lists 22 skills.
