How to write your Meta Software Engineer resume, based on 155 that passed the screen
1. Keep it to one page
Recruiters skim a resume in seconds before deciding to read on, so one page keeps your strongest material in view. Trim older or less relevant entries before shrinking the font or margins.
92% of the 154 resumes here that we have read in full are one page.
2. Lead with education while you are in school
On a student resume, recruiters look for the school, degree and graduation date first, so put them at the top. Once your internships say more about you than your coursework, move experience above education.
83% of the 127 resumes here 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 all count as experience. If you have none yet, a projects section does the same job: what you built, the tools you used and the result.
71% of the 154 resumes here that we have read in full list at least one internship or co-op and a typical one lists 3 roles. 84% 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 (users, revenue, latency, accuracy, hours saved) makes the result concrete and easy to skim.
A typical resume here has 17 bullet points, and 45% of them carry a figure.
5. List your GPA if it helps you
Most student resumes include a GPA. Include yours if it is near or above the average below; otherwise leave it off and let coursework and projects carry your education section.
28% of these 155 resumes list a GPA on a 4.0 scale, and those average 3.67.
6. Name specific skills and tools
Name the languages, frameworks and tools you have really used, grouped by type, in the words the job description uses. Skip soft skills; your bullet points demonstrate those.
The most-listed skills on these resumes are node.js (47%), React.js (43%), JSON (29%), Python (25%) and Ionic Framework (25%). A typical resume here lists 25 skills.
