awesome-resume

Awesome Resume is a collection of ready-to-copy resume content for software engineers, with material in both English and Chinese. Rather than a template in the sense of a document you fill in, it is a library of example sentences covering the parts of a resume that most people find hardest to write: the professional summary at the top, bullet points describing work experience and project contributions, and cover letters. Each entry is written in a polished, professional style so you can adapt it to your own background.

The English section is organized by resume section. The summary examples are split into two groups: one for experienced engineers with several years in areas like machine learning, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, and mobile development, and one for recent graduates with academic projects and internship experience. The work experience and project sections provide sentences describing technical contributions in concrete terms, such as improving performance by a specific percentage or shipping a feature used by a certain number of users. There are also referral request templates and cover letter drafts.

The Chinese section follows a similar structure, with example summaries and project descriptions aimed at software engineering roles in the Chinese job market. A checklist at the start of the README covers basic resume hygiene steps, such as listing experience in reverse chronological order, checking contact details, using consistent fonts and spacing, running a grammar check, and saving the file as a one-page PDF named in a standard format.

The repository also links to related resources from the same organization, including a free project course, an algorithm interview preparation site, and a collection of frequently asked interview questions. The full README is longer than what was shown.
