Resume Writing

"What Resume Screeners Look For
Resume screeners look for the same things that interviewers do:
»»Are you smart?
»»Can you code?
That means that you should present your resume to show those two things. Your love of tennis, traveling, or magic cards won’t do much to show that, so it’s likely just wasting space.
Keep in mind that recruiters only spend a fixed amount of time (about 20 seconds) looking at your resume. If you limit the content to the best, most impressive, most relevant items, they’ll jump out at the recruiter. Weak items only dilute your resume and distract the recruiter from what you’d like them to see."
