Frequently asked questions

What should a software engineer resume include?

A one-line target title, a two-line summary with years and primary stack, reverse-chronological experience with quantified bullets, a projects section (if early-career), grouped skills (languages, frameworks, infra, data), and education at the bottom.

How long should a software engineer resume be?

One page for under 10 years of experience, two pages for senior/staff/principal roles with significant scope.

Should I list every programming language I've used?

No. List only languages you'd survive a technical screen on. A short, honest list beats a long buzzword wall.

Do I need a GitHub link on my resume?

Yes if you're early-career or open-source active. For senior engineers a portfolio, published work, or company shipped-product link is enough.
