How to write your Scale AI Software Engineer resume, based on 7 that passed the screen

  • 1. Keep it to one page

    Recruiters skim a resume in seconds before deciding to read on, so one page keeps your strongest material in view. Trim older or less relevant entries before shrinking the font or margins. 100% of the 7 resumes here that we have read in full are one page.
  • 2. Lead with education while you are in school

    On a student resume, recruiters look for the school, degree and graduation date first, so put them at the top. Once your internships say more about you than your coursework, move experience above education. 100% of the 6 resumes here whose sections we could read put education before experience.
  • 3. Count internships, research and projects as experience

    Internships, co-ops, research and teaching assistant roles all count as experience. If you have none yet, a projects section does the same job: what you built, the tools you used and the result. 86% of the 7 resumes here that we have read in full list at least one internship or co-op and a typical one lists 3 roles. 100% have a projects section.
  • 4. Put a number in your bullet points

    Open each bullet with what you did and close with the result. A number (users, revenue, latency, accuracy, hours saved) makes the result concrete and easy to skim. A typical resume here has 17 bullet points, and 39% of them carry a figure.
  • 5. Name specific skills and tools

    Name the languages, frameworks and tools you have really used, grouped by type, in the words the job description uses. Skip soft skills; your bullet points demonstrate those. The most-listed skills on these resumes are node.js (86%), React.js (57%), C++ Programming (43%), Ionic Framework (43%) and JSON (43%). A typical resume here lists 26 skills.
