2:25 Can you elaborate on how LaTeX optimizes for ATS? What's so different about creating a PDF file in LaTeX vs in Word/Google Docs?

Omg, thanks man for this video! That really helps. I was always wondering how this template is called

Thanks for the awesome video on this concept. I would like to ask a question regarding the 'Experience' section. Since I cannot include more than three bullet points under each experience, what is the best way to describe a long experience (like 8 years) in a result-oriented manner with a company, during which many projects were completed?

[dannynguyen]

If I have no work experience (I do have a part-time job listed but not software engineering), should I move that section towards the bottom and move skills and projects towards the top? Or keep as is?

[Eurotool]

Thank you. What program do you use for making your graphics and videos?

[ZombifyYourself]

Watching this Oct '24, and there's no referral vid :')
Super bummed, but great video and content nonetheless!

[nathanielyao]

Thank you for this video. What are some other things you would put in 'Concepts' section under 'Technical Skills' besides object-oriented design and data structures and algorithms? Also, would you instead suggest putting these things in a 'Courses' section under 'Education'?

Quantified data shows that recruiters / hiring managers look at a resume for approximately 6 seconds. However, i think in reality its along the lines of 30-60 seconds. Naturally, people read resumes starting from the top, So if i theoretically have 6 seconds to catch their attention, why wouldnt i better utilize that space with my most relevant information such as a good summary section instead of education "the least important part" ? Not saying its wrong, just looking for understanding.
