Step 4 — The resume Bangalore actually reads
One page, results first, and the keyword pass you can't opt out of.
1 min 06 Mar 2026
Your resume gets two readers: a parser, then a human with about nine seconds. Write for both, in that order.
The shape
- One page under eight years' experience. Two is a flex you haven't earned yet.
- Results, not responsibilities. "Owned the billing service" is a job description. "Cut billing failures 40% by rewriting retry logic" is a resume line.
- Numbers wherever they're honest. Latency, revenue, users, hours saved.
The parser pass
Applicant tracking systems match on words. If the posting says Salesforce and your resume says CRM platform, you don't exist. Mirror the posting's vocabulary — where it's true.
Before: Responsible for CRM platform work across teams.
After: Built Apex + Lightning Web Components on Salesforce;
cut case-routing time 35% across 4 support teams.
The link that does the work
One link, working, at the top. A repo, a site, a reel. Not five. The one you'd defend in an interview.
