Brutally Roasted
Your GitHub has 14 projects. Your resume describes one of them — as 'developed a full-stack application.' That's not a sentence, that's a tombstone for your actual work.

Common Mistakes on Software Engineer Resumes
The recurring patterns recruiters see — and reject.
- 01
Listing 47 technologies in a 'Skills' wall instead of 6 you're actually good at.
- 02
Describing what a framework is instead of what you built with it.
- 03
No links to GitHub, portfolio, or deployed work. We can't see the thing.
- 04
'Worked on backend services' — scope unclear, impact invisible, team size unknown.
- 05
Claiming 10x productivity gains with no baseline, no metric, and no definition of 'productivity.'
Sample Roast Lines for Software Engineers
Real roasts our AI writes for this role.
“You list 'Agile' as a skill. Agile is not a skill, it's a meeting you have on Tuesdays.”
“Your bullet 'Used Python to solve complex problems' has less specificity than a fortune cookie.”
“Four years of experience and the only number on your resume is your zip code.”
How to Fix Your Software Engineer Resume
Specific moves that actually move the grade.
- ✓
Replace 'technologies used' with 'problem solved, system scope, outcome.' Every bullet.
- ✓
Quantify request volume, latency reduction, incidents resolved, test coverage — something numeric.
- ✓
Trim your skills list to the 6-8 tools you'd defend in a whiteboard interview.
- ✓
Link to GitHub, a deployed app, or a technical writeup. Recruiters open one. Make it count.
- ✓
Show ownership: 'Designed and shipped X' beats 'Participated in the development of X.'
