Amazing video! If I may, I’d like to suggest a few more (as a hiring manager)
1. If your resume is dense, it’s ok to bold critical information.
2. Use the “So What?” test. After reading about your contribution, the reviewer shouldn’t think, “So what?”
3. It’s ok to have different versions of resumes for different companies or roles.
Apologies if unsolicited suggestions are not welcome.

Time to remake my resume for the 100th time XD

I feel like it's pertinent to mention that the structure of your resume really depends on your expertise in the field you are applying for. If you're entry-level and currently working on a project, you might want to add a link in your resume to that specific project. This gives the resume reviewer immediate knowledge that you are actively applying yourself. You should still link your general repository address in the header, though.

I’ve been checking the best SWE resumes for years and this is the best one I’ve seen. Well done Daniel. I have a similar resume but has a second page, will definitely to try to update it in this format. Thanks for sharing and please keep sharing your knowledge :)

Hey, I just wanted to say I am more of a "fix it" person and the way you were able to show what you can offer to a company and HOW to describe your duties was flawless. I realized what I needed to do and changed up the descriptions from "I do x, y, z" to "I have DONE x, y, z and it helped the company significantly with this total amount of sales, revenue etc. etc." and just by ACCURATELY stating what I've done and showing confidence I can proudly say that I have a wfh job now doing less and making more with a guaranteed 1+ year contract and Motorola reaching out to hire me. I just wanted to say thanks and that you and your channel are awesome! 😎😄

The resume didn’t get you the offers. The resume got you the interviews. Your knowledge, interview skills, and negotiating skills got you the offers.

Hey man. I am just an IT guy but I used your tip #6 and #7 with my experience at the top of my resume. I made the mistake of using certifications and schooling at the top before. Now, I have a follow-up from an established company in Houston (part of the Energy Corridor, actually) and I legitimately have you to thank for.

It is just one follow-up so far, but it's something. Thank you and the way you produce your videos is very well made.

"People love modesty, but they don't hire it." God, I wish someone had told me that when I first started out! I used to undervalue myself so much on the job market, I would even lowball myself when it comes to salary, hoping that would make me a more attractive candidate.
I've wasted years of working at jobs and companies with lower than expected salaries as a result, and looking at where I am now, I'm better than I gave myself credit for.

[lexigao]

These points are actually 100% accurate, speaking from personal experience here. Would legit send this to anyone seeking resume advice

[gmercadopr]

I really appreciate you time, efforts, and expertise in guiding us to a strong resume build. The day I downloaded your template, and modify it with my personal info, I got 2 job interviews on the same day that I started sending them! Before that I've sent more than 100+ resume and haven't got a phone call. Thank you soo much for the template and info shared through the video.

I'm applying for Microsoft and this helps me a lot! thanks PK!!

I normally don't comment on videos like these, but this was extremely helpful knowledge, stating many more impactful points than any other resume video I've seen! I'm currently a 3rd year uni student, and although I don't have a ton of work experience quite yet, I do have many projects I have worked on over the years, so I will definitely be including everything I can above education!!

[cademiller]

This is one of the most informational "tip" videos I have ever seen. Every single one was applicable and added value to my resume. Thank you!

[niyatsiyum]

I just don't think there will ever come a time where my resume is good enough. Every month I switch something, but thank you for the insightful video!!

[Rizhiy]

3:05 LinkedIn and GitHub should be your usernames/URLs. People can't use embedded links if they print your resume out) Also some PDF viewers don't work properly with links.

[SychicGamer]

this has been one of the most clear and helpful resume videos i've seen!

[Kylbigel]

One of the most helpful resume videos I've watched on YouTube—TY!

[skyleejr]

Thanks a ton :) I used this format and tips for my resume and have bagged a back end developer role .. thank you so much

[greatavgustyn]

I just wanted to leave a comment here cuz tip 5 made me smile. In Asia, alot of families force their children from an early age to be great at school so they can land at the best universities so they can land the best jobs. I'm not one of those people. I've been pressured to consider getting better grades to land a better university to put on my resume but seeing your advice gave me hope that experience, hardwork, and dedication (and what you've accomplished) speaks volumes to simply having better grades and hell even the highest GPA.

Thank you pirate king, Ive recently discovered your channel and im hoping to learn more from your videos.

[artemuskim]

Thank you so much! I wish growth to your channel, you are doing a really great job, Pirate King!
