Resume Tip of the Week

You've probably heard of the STAR method for behavioral interviews.

https://capd.mit.edu/resources/the-star-method-for-behavioral-interviews/

This can be used on your resume too! In tech, I recommend the START method™️ (ok, not trademarked yet 😉)

SFor the "S" you only have to do it once per company you worked for-you can get that information from Crunchbase or the company website. If you worked in a specific department, include that information too. A hiring manager may not what "Meta" does for example, but if you work specifically in ad revenue, it would have a different meaning. This saves a lot of time explaining in an interview and helps people reading your resume know what companies you worked for and gives you more credit for lesser-known companies. Remember also that a hiring manager may not work directly in your industry, so they may not even know "big names." Want more proof, check out this article: 25 Biggest Companies You've Never Heard OfWould you rather say you work for McKesson and chance that they know the company, or put a quick descriptor under the company name? "McKesson distributes medical supplies, information technology, and care management products and services. It is the largest company in the US and a global leader in healthcare technology, supply chain management solutions, and retail pharmacy, among many other health-related fields." And, if it helps, add what you did. e.g., "I worked on a team that built and maintained the data warehouse for the supply chain management."

TAREach bullet point should be the TAR-Task, Action, and Result.T: What were you asked to do?A: What actions did you take?R: What was the result/benefit to the company?

TThe final T is for tools/tech. While you may have these elsewhere in your skills section, your professional summary, and even in your bullet points, it can be helpful to quickly show what tools you used professionally and in independent, from-scratch projects. There are a few benefits here: 1. It helps people orient to your preferred or strongest "tech stack" or "environment"2. It shows that you have worked on professional-level products using these tools 3. It is already linked to a length of time. Hope this helps to START your resume revision and skip some of the screening questions or at least have a cheat sheet for yourself when they ask you a question that they should have been able to get from your resume.
