    Factually, I did that bolding key phrases on my resume, leading the readers eyes to what “I” want them to see. A couple hiring managers at an engineering/tech career fairs told me that was a big deal for them, because they can stay on point and grasp the person from the paper. It works

    I would show that through the types of experiences you list in your bullets. For example, when discussing my Software Engineering job, the bullets I wrote mostly described the PM-type work I did (gathering requirements, user shadowing, etc). This way, they will see you have that experience, even if you didn't have the formal title.

    Hey Harshibar. Great work here. Liked the celebratory walk. Congratulations! A quick question: did any of the recruiters ask you to corroborate the numbers and percentages you used to portray the impact you created in specific roles or projects? KZread, I understand. It has a dashboard for visualisation and analysis plus the shareable and publicly viewable videos themselves are proof of concept but, what about other roles or projects. I'm a fresher looking for Product roles hence, I am trying to craft the best resume I can and since I have a lot of numbers that convey a tangible impact, I am on the fence about including them

    hey! i am a senior about to major in ba comp sci (just because i cant stand physics). at this university, both the bs and ba programs are from the college of engineering and applied sciences the only difference in the degree being that for bs you need phy and chem and then for ba its another minor or certificate, anyways all the cs courses requirement are the same and are taught by the same teachers (bs is abet accredited, ba is not). however, my desi mom thinks that ba is for people who barely passed high school and it is impossible to get a job with a ba. do you think that employers show a distinguishment between ba and bs when hiring or at the end of the day does it wind down to just experiences and skills?

I usually didn't update my resume for each job description, but I did make a few versions of my resume that were tailored to different sectors (startup, FAANG, banks, etc) with content/formatting that suited each. For companies I was excited about, I also used a somewhat boilerplate cover letter and personalized one paragraph to describe my interest in the role. Hope that helps!

    Also what’s the benefit of specifically putting Postgres/MySQL on there vs just having SQL? Since you can write base SQL queries through Postbird and other clients

    That’s a good point! I think the companies I was applying to listed Postgres on their tech stack, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt. But I agree, SQL alone should be fine
