Writing Resume Guide

How cv2.sh suggest to write resumes.

Most advices are from Reddit Engineering Resume Wiki

Contact Information

If you have a foreign sounding name, or your education/work experience doesn't make it clear you're able to work in said country you're applying to, consider listing your citizenship/work visa status near your name to be explicitly clear to the recruiter/hiring manager that you don't require visa sponsorship.
Example: "US Citizen", "US Permanent Resident", "Canadian Citizen", "Italian Citizen"
Don't include your physical address and ZIP code
Don't include your location (city, ST) unless the specific job you're applying for is in that specific city
Including a non-local location may cause implicit bias against you
LinkedIn profiles are unnecessary
Chances are, nobody will ever click on your LinkedIn. If they want to find you on LinkedIn, they can simply search your name on LinkedIn or just Google you.
Phone numbers are unnecessary
Like location, a non-local area code may cause implicit bias against you. Interview processes these days don't begin with a cold call, the recruiter will email you for your phone number if they need it.
List only 1 email address
Use a modern email provider such as Gmail/Outlook, NOT AOL/Hotmail/Yahoo due to implicit bias against you
If you've already graduated, do not use a college email unless you went to a really prestigious school like MIT/CMU
Don’t include a link to your GitHub profile if it’s empty
Write out your email address, GitHub profile, and portfolio website in plain text i.e.
```
name@gmail.com
github.com/username
myportfolio.com
```
Don't preface your email address with "Email: ". Simply display your email address i.e. name@gmail.com
Don't preface your GitHub URL with "GitHub: ". Simply display 'github.com/username'
Don't preface your personal website or portfolio URL with "Portfolio: ". Simply write out myportfolio.com for example
Don't include https://www. for your URLs.
cv2.sh will reduce this links to https:// to have clickable and minimal view
Don't underline, italicize, or color your email address/GitHub URL/portfolio URL/personal website URLs

Experience

Only include PAID work experience in this section (research experience can go here as well)
Clearly indicate internships are internships and contract positions are contract positions
Order positions and bullet points by relevancy to the job you’re interested in OR impressiveness: put your best stuff first!
Tailor your resume for each application so it addresses the job description. Show that you can do the job
Add context. Simply listing positions/projects and adding industry buzzwords is not enough. You need to tell hiring managers what you did and how you solved problems.
Differentiate yourself and don't be humble. Simply listing job duties will not make your resume any different from others: your resume is not your job description.. Tell us about your accomplishments, tangible metrics, and technical victories.
Avoid centering your skills around a piece of software if you can. Any idiot can learn how to sketch, extrude, cut, and mate in SolidWorks - but identifying capabilities gaps (a need), creating a preliminary design, and taking it through the rest of the design process is something that fewer people can do, so try to focus on the engineering skills behind it. CAD and other software should be an “oh by the way” if possible.
Protip: Engineers love it if you did hand-calc sanity checks instead of just hitting the RUN button in your FEA/CFD package, so do that and mention it at the interview. Seriously.
Use bullet points, not paragraphs

Bullet points

Bullet points should be 1-2 lines long. Use Quillbot and LanguageTool to help you paraphrase and shorten your bullets
Aim for 1 sentence per bullet
Bullet points should be ordered from most relevant/impressive to least, as some hiring managers only have time to read the first they should get THE BEST!
Don't use personal pronouns i.e. I, we, us, my, our, their
Don't end bullet points with periods. Bullet points != sentences
Your bullet points shouldn't go further right than your dates
Don't spill bullets onto the following line with only 1–4 words on it. It's an extreme waste of space.
Don't allow words to wrap to the next line and get hyphenated
Avoid the excess use of sub-bullet points. They can clutter your resume, making it more verbose and harder to read
Avoid using apostrophes ', ampersands &, and slashes /
Avoid the excessive use of adjectives and adverbs, they're superfluous:
B-adjectives: excellent, innovative, expert, revolutionary, disruptive
B-adverbs: creatively, diligently, meticulously, strategically, successfully, independently, innovatively, excellently, expertly
Use digits instead of spelling out numbers: 8 ~~eight~~
