Create a "boring" resume. 🚫 No colors, charts, graphs, or pictures. ✅ Simple, straightforward format. "When I was at Google, people submitted artistic resumes with colors and charts.

🎯 Why "Boring" Resumes Can Be Powerful As a former recruiter for Google, Apple, and Nvidia, Stefanie Fackrell has reviewed thousands of resumes, and her advice might surprise you: keep it boring. "No colors, no charts, no graphs, no pictures," she shared in a recent interview. "By creating colorful resumes, you're just being a little gimmicky." In a world where standing out feels essential, it seems counterintuitive. But here's the twist: simplicity works. A clear, concise, and straightforward resume makes it easier for recruiters to see your qualifications and experience at a glance. It's not about dazzling them with design but impressing them with substance. In my experience, the best resumes tell a compelling story of skills and accomplishments without distractions. Remember, your resume is your first impression make it count by keeping it simple. What do you think? Have you had success with a "boring" resume? Let's discuss!

Former Google and Nvidia recruiter share best resume tips to get job easily When applying for a managerial position, she recommends including words like “seasoned program manager” or “passionate about learning and development.” Former Google and Nvidia recruiter share best resume tips to get job easily Stefanie Fackrell, a former recruiter at Google and Nvidia, shared three tips for resume summary writing, including mentioning whether you are looking for a remote, hybrid, or on-site job. She also gave a brief about how one should write the summary in their resume and why does it matter. She told CNBC Make It, “I am always impressed with people that can really package it very well. I think a great summary just really showcases what the person brings to the table”, including “what they’re passionate about, what they’ve done in their career.” She stated that just three to five sentences are enough. When applying for a managerial position, she recommends including words like “seasoned program manager” or “passionate about learning and development.” Fackrell advises not to mention the number of years of experience in the resume summary to avoid bias or ageism. Instead, let your resume and LinkedIn profile naturally show your experience. Secondly, applicants need to analyse if the industry that they are aiming for really requires a summary at all. She said, “High finance, I think, and lawyers really don’t do professional summaries.” Before creating your resume summary, Fackrell advises conducting research, particularly if you're starting a new job or switching industries. Check up what is normal for resumes in that field using Google. It's critical to be organized. She also advises keeping a list of accomplishments so you don't forget how you've contributed to your teams. You can format it like a resume if it helps you organize better. This way, you can easily pick and choose what to include in your resume.

Why highlighting impact on your resume matters? For recruiters screening resumes, quantifying your achievements demonstrates the tangible results you delivered. Vague vs. Impactful Instead of: "Developed a new search algorithm" Try: "Developed a new search algorithm that reduced search time by 30%, improving user experience and customer satisfaction." By quantifying your contributions, you create a clearer picture of your value as a software engineer.

When you’re writing your resume, you’ll want to highlight your most relevant accomplishments to the role you’re applying for. Depending on your role, these can include “managing budgets, effectively managing a team, beating quarterly goals, scaling something from zero to one, growing revenue for a company if you’re in sales” and so on, says Stefanie Fackrell, a HR consultant who’s worked in recruiting at companies like Google and Nvidia. How do you know which highlights to include? Read the job description to get a sense of its daily to-dos. Then, “you need to think through your Rolodex of accomplishments” and pick out the most relevant ones, says Fackrell. To do that, you’ll want to build and regularly refresh that Rolodex. Here’s how. ⬇️
