As a software engineer looking for a job, you know that having an accurate and effective resume is the key to success. ATS-friendly resumes are optimized for automated tracking systems used by employers, including FAANGs like Facebook/Meta, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google. ATS-friendly resumes are designed to get past scanning systems and ensure that your application is seen by hiring managers, even if you do not have a referral or are applying to a large employer. As a Software Engineer and an Engineering Manager at Facebook, I've done 3-5 interviews per week and done numerous resume reviews. After years in the industry and reviewing thousands of resumes, I know even some of the most qualified candidates can struggle to make their resumes stand out. Thankfully there are specific tips and tricks to make sure your resume is ATS-friendly and FAANG-ready. Read on to find out:

I’m not sure if I follow. Do you mean no one is smart enough to be an engineer?

Being logical is helpful in many fields!

Thanks for the comment! Very happy to see a positive response :)

Thanks for the suggestion!

Definitely true - It is difficult to be absolutely factual or objective when it comes to hiring or resource planning. Managers are human too.

Being pleasant to be around is very different from kissing ass. Being unpleasant is commonly known as being an ass in America ;)

If I am pleasant to gain mobility or status, because, as you said, it provides opportunity, that’s being a kiss ass.

I am in no way suggesting walking around just being negative, instead, being negative, not unpleasant, but being negative, when appropriate is honest, and humble.

> being negative, when appropriate is honest, and humble.

It neither honest nor humble necessarily. It's a mindset, a perception, and a choice. You filter reality through your mindset. You choose to respond negatively or in some other way.
