I've been knee-deep in interviews lately and realized how important a solid resume is. I've learned that it’s not just about listing your jobs and skills. It's about tailoring your resume for each position, especially when you're applying to tech roles. Highlight the languages and frameworks that matter to the job. If they mention React, don’t just drop 'JavaScript'—show how you used React to build something cool.

I used to just toss in buzzwords, but it feels like hiring managers can see right through that now. I’ve had more success when I included projects where I solved real problems or made an impact. If you can throw in some metrics—like increased performance by 30%—that stuff pops. What have you all found that works or doesn’t work on your resumes? Any tools you swear by for design?
