Writing Guidelines for Computer Science Students

  • Prioritize technical competencies: Order skill sets relative to matching keyword phrases in job descriptions.

Formatting Advice & FAQ

What should a computer science student list on their resume if they have no work experience?

If you have no corporate job history, make your Projects section the centerpiece of your resume. Highlight 2-3 significant software applications you built, detailing the tech stack used (e.g. React, Python, SQL) and the technical problems you solved (e.g. database optimizations, thread handling).

How do you present coding skills for ATS parsers?

List specific programming languages (e.g., Python, TypeScript), frameworks (React, Node.js), and database tools (PostgreSQL, Docker) under a dedicated 'Skills' section. Avoid general phrases like 'Coding' or 'Software Development'; ATS parsers filter candidates by scanning for specific technical terms.

Should a GitHub profile link be listed on a CS student resume?

Absolutely. Include a clickable link to your GitHub profile in the contact header. Ensure that your pinned repositories contain clean, documented code and detailed README markdown files. This serves as proof of your coding abilities to recruiters.
