Keep it to one page Recruiters skim resumes in seconds, so one page keeps your strongest material in view. Trim older or less relevant entries before shrinking the font or margins. 100% of the 7 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 your internships say more about you than your coursework, move experience above education. 100% of the 6 resumes whose sections could be 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 those yet, use a projects section to show what you built, the tools you used, and the result. 100% of the 7 resumes read in full list at least one internship or co-op. A typical resume lists 4 roles, and 57% have a projects section. ### 4. Put a number in your bullet points Open each bullet with what you did and close with the result. A number—such as users, revenue, latency, accuracy, or hours saved—makes the result concrete and easy to skim. A typical resume has 16 bullet points, and 63% carry a figure. ### 5. Name specific skills and tools Name the languages, frameworks, and tools you have actually used. Group them by type and use the terminology from the job description. Skip soft skills; your bullet points demonstrate those. The most-listed skills are JSON (50%), node.js (50%), CAD/CAM (38%), C++ Programming (38%), and React.js (38%). A typical resume lists 23 skills. ## Top skills on Software Engineer resumes that passed Lyft’s screen | Skill | Share of resumes | Resumes | |---|---:|---:| | JSON | 50% | 4 | | node.js | 50% | 4 | | CAD/CAM | 38% | 3 | | C++ Programming | 38% | 3 | | React.js | 38% | 3 | ## Lyft Software Engineer resumes by the numbers Based on 8 resumes, updated Oct 30, 2026. | Measure | Result | |---|---| | Verified | 4 confirmed to have landed the interview | | Level | 63% intern, 38% full-time | | Top schools | University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Boston College, University of California, Los Angeles | | Top skills | JSON, node.js, CAD/CAM, C++ Programming, React.js | | Also passed screening at | Microsoft, HubSpot, Expedia | | Length | 100% are one page | | Internships | 100% list at least one internship or co-op | | Roles listed | 4 on a typical resume | | Highest degree | Bachelor’s 100% | | Fields of study | Computer Science (4) | | Graduation years | 2026 (3) | Length, internships, roles, degrees, fields of study, graduation years, and employers are based on the 7 resumes read in full. ## Lyft Software Engineer resume FAQ ### Are these real Software Engineer resumes?
