Programming Interviews Exposed: Secrets to Landing Your Next Job, Second Edition
by John Mongan, Noah Suojanen, Eric Giguère
Appendix A. Résumés
Whether you have a contact in industry, are going through a company's recruiting process, or are using a headhunter, everyone will ask to see your résumé. Your résumé convinces people that you have relevant skills and talents and are worth consideration as a candidate. A good résumé is a necessary — but not sufficient — requirement for getting hired. If the person who reads your résumé doesn't find the relevant information they're looking for, they'll drop you for consideration and move on to the next job candidate. This is why it's so important that your résumé doesn't sell you short. This appendix examines and improves some typical developers' résumés to illustrate the techniques you can use to get your résumé in shape.
