Here is a post I'd recommend reading, if you're having trouble getting started Ten Tips for Writing a Job-Winning Developer Resume
###Resume Must-Have's
- Header: Name, city, phone number, email, GitHub, LinkedIn, personal site (These should all be links)
- About Me: Your 1 - 3 sentence intro
- Skills: Highlight your dev skills first. Include any transferable skills in this section as well
- Personal Projects: What are you proud of? Show it off! Be sure projects are linked to visuals
- Experience: Lead with your position, then the company. Use dates! Add Dev Bootcamp under Experience.
- Education: This should be at the bottom. If you choose to add Dev Bootcamp, keep it short and sweet, such as: "19 week web development intensive program"
###Pro Tips:
- In the "About Me" section, consider how you want your dream company’s hiring manager to view you after reading this statem
- Do you have a big, bold opening line?
