Why it works
1
Work first, education last
After two or three years, recruiters read your last job first. College projects drop off unless they are your best proof.
2
Own something
“Owned the payments retry service” says more about three years than a list of tickets. Name what was yours.
3
Numbers from production
Latency, error rate, incidents, cost. Production numbers are what separate year three from year one.
