* Pro tips
[[https://twitter.com/slizagna/status/1356652219932626944][recruiter]]
- Focus on what you have /accomplished/ and /can quantify/ rather than job responsibilities
- Include graduation date!
- Save resume as first and last name, not 'resume'
- Tailor the resume to match the job and add key words.
  idea: automate this?
- Always remember: a resume is for an interview, not a job. Just give them enough information to encourage them to interview you.
* Great questions for interviews
- "Could you resolve this merge conflict with me?"
  - Get a feel for their critical thinking and communication skills
  - Test their knowledge with git
  - Test their critical thinking in a pair programming session, learn about how they think about a programming language you expect them to be comfortable in.
