Break Into Tech And Become A Software Engineer [Part 20] - Demystifying Resume Selection

In this lesson, Brian shares insights from his experience as an engineering manager, explaining how resumes are sorted into "no," "maybe," and "yes" piles during the hiring process.

This lesson covers:

• Why resumes with a skills mismatch or unclear roles are put into the "no" pile, and how to avoid this by clearly presenting your relevant experience and skills
• The challenge of standing out from the crowded "maybe" pile, where many passionate junior developers end up due to generic projects and experiences
• Tips for increasing your chances of landing in the "yes" pile by demonstrating experience, showcasing personality, and experimenting with different resume approaches to see what resonates with employers
