Jake ryan’s resume template

- Use this template


- https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates
/jakes-resume/syzfjbzwjncs
- 4 sections
- 3-4 points
- Live links
- Github links
- NO certificates
- No bullshit
- Nothing older than college unless super
important
- DON’T JUST FILL in
- Keep it relevant
STOP SPENDING HOURS ON TOOLS

- Keep it simple
- Simple english
- Simple points
- Learn the basics

The harsh reality is that no one is going to


read your resume unless you have something
very very impressive
Main points
1. No summary or certificates
2. Add skills and keywords - ATS
3. Think like ATS and not like a recruiter
4. No recruiter has time for you
5. Think of bullet point structure and not paragraphs
6. More numbers and actionable items
7. More ‘valuable’ things
8. Bring unique things in your resume
9. Do not waste all your time
10. Make projects and add those
Everything you need!

1. Stop looking for AI tools or templates


2. Make a simple resume and start applying
3. You are not getting opportunities because of your projects, not because your
resume is “bad”
4. Just use the template and work on things that matter

Projects + DSA = 99% of your job application

So move on from the fucking resume PLEASE.


Cold emailing and
networking
Coders, freelancers, indie hackers, sellers, etc.

30dayscoding.com
Normal email + emailing
when you have another offer

- Use the offer


- Use the details
- Use the tricks
- Fasten the process
- Heading
- Description
- Test details
- Test results
- Aim of the email
- Result of the email
- Keep it simple
- Provide value
- Concise
Using a software tool like indeed, handshake, etc is NOT A GOOD PRACTICE.
- Look at this example
- 10000s of people are applying this way
- Very slow and outdated
Don’t stop at 1 email

- Email 100s of recruiters


- Ask for their calls and numbers
- Schedule a call if possible
- Ask for multiple recruiters
- Acceptance rate is usually low
Test yourself with this email
response

- How will you reply


- What will you say

Think about:
- What do we want next
- Simple and straightforward
- Good n bad examples
My email for TEAM MATCHING at Google

- After my selection
- To find a team
- Email 50+ people

So many people wait and get rejected in this round. This is


how you become better than others.
“Applied sometime back”

- Revisit the emails


- Email them again
- Ask for feedback
- Ask for updates
- Ask for timelines
“I’ve applied with referral already”

- Tell this to recruiter


- Don’t wait and watch
- Alert them before others

You need very STRONG POINTS


Don’t make it TOOOOO SIMPLE.

- This is v simple and boring.


- No links, github, portfolio, etc. BAD EMAIL
REGULAR FEEDBACK + TIMELINE
NEVER SAY NO

- I said no to internship but still willing to


get full time later
- Never just say no
- I had the google offer so said no

Always
- Interview (never know about layoffs)
- Ask for personal contact
- Keep good relations
- Never be rude
- Never say no
- Always reply even if you don’t ‘have’ to
