New grad resume guide
If you’re early-career, your resume should emphasize projects, internships, and proof of skill — not a long tool list.
What matters most
- • 2–4 strong projects with real scope and results
- • Clear ownership: what you built vs. what the team did
- • Evidence of fundamentals (testing, data structures, systems)
- • Internships/research with measurable contributions
Project bullet example
