The Hard Truth About Tech Resumes

Hiring managers don't read resumes line by line. They scan. They pattern-match. They look for signals.

And most resumes — even from good engineers — fail to surface the right signals quickly. Impact is buried under tasks. Technical depth isn't obvious. Scope and ownership are unclear. The resume reads like a job description, not a story of contribution and value.

Once a resume lacks those signals, it's over. No rejection email. Just silence.

What If You Knew Exactly How Hiring Managers Think?

Right now, hiring managers are flooded with hundreds of resumes per role. They spend seconds per decision. Strong engineers are getting filtered out — not because they can't do the work, but because their resume doesn't communicate value fast enough.

If you've applied to dozens of IC roles with no callbacks, it's not because you're unqualified. It's because your resume isn't doing its job. This is about how your experience is being read.

Your Expert

Hi, I'm Jon

I've been an engineering manager and senior manager for over 10 years, hiring and leading individual contributors across tech teams. I've reviewed thousands of resumes from software engineers at every stage — junior to senior, frontend to backend, IC to leadership.

I know what stands out to a busy engineering manager. What signals 'strong IC' versus 'risky hire.' What causes a resume to be passed over instantly — even when the engineer is perfectly capable and qualified.

I won't give you generic resume advice or recycled blog tips. I'll tell you plainly and specifically what to change so your resume has a real shot at interviews.
