TL;DR

According to the student’s notes, the session framed resume review around three reader perspectives:

1. Recruiter: Do you meet the basic requirements?
2. Technical sourcer: Where might you fit?
3. Hiring manager: Is there enough depth to want a conversation?

The practical takeaway: make your resume easy to scan, specific to the role/team, and full of proof you can back up in an interview.

How the student’s notes framed resume review

The student’s notes suggested that different resume readers may look for different signals:

• Basic fit: graduation date, degree/major, education, contact information, and relevant experience
• Team fit: skills, tools, technical areas, and whether your background points in a clear direction
• Interview depth: projects, links, technical decisions, and examples you can explain in detail

The broader lesson: your resume should not just list what you have done. It should make it easy for someone to understand where you fit and what they should ask you about.

Resume fundamentals

The session notes framed a resume as a marketing document, not a biography.

A strong student resume should quickly communicate:

• What you can do
• Where you fit
• Why someone should interview you
