So you have acquired your software engineering degree, and now you are raring to get the job that you have always dreamed for!
Or you want to jump from your existing software engineering job to a better one in another company.
Are you qualified for it? Yes? Do you have the experience that they are looking for? Yes, again? Great!
But where is your resume?
Being qualified and experienced is not enough. You have to show for it as well. And how do you do that? By updating the resume that you have kept locked up in a drawer because you never thought you would need it!
Software engineer resumes are the driving force behind employer decision making. Resumes that “say something” are considered good ones.
