How to Write a Tech Resume That Gets Noticed

The average recruiter spends 7 seconds on a resume. Here's how to make yours count.

The 7-Second Rule

Recruiters scan resumes fast. Your resume must survive this scan.

Format: One Page

Unless you have 15+ years of experience, stick to one page.

Write Impact Bullets

Instead of: Responsible for maintaining the codebase

Write: Refactored codebase, reducing bundle size by 42% and improving Core Web Vitals from 61 to 94

Key Sections

  1. Header (name, email, LinkedIn)
  2. Summary (optional, 2–3 lines)
  3. Experience (impact bullets)
  4. Skills (technical only)
  5. Education
