Stop listing responsibilities. Tech hiring managers care about impact.
I review tech resumes every day, and the #1 mistake is universal: people write job descriptions instead of impact statements.
What I see:
❌ "Responsible for building microservices"
❌ "Maintained backend infrastructure"
❌ "Worked on React frontend features"
What gets interviews:
✅ "Built 12 microservices handling 2M+ daily requests, reducing latency by 40%"
✅ "Migrated legacy infrastructure to AWS, cutting operational costs by $150K/year"
✅ "Led redesign of 5 core React components, increasing user engagement by 25%"
The formula is simple:
[Action] + [Technology] + [Metric]
Why this works:
Recruiters and hiring managers scan for measurable outcomes. They want to know: What did you actually accomplish? Numbers make your impact undeniable.
