Your Resume Isn’t Broken - Your Storytelling Might Be
Most resumes I review from engineers aren’t bad.
But they’re missing one critical thing: storytelling that connects results to context.
You built a dashboard. Cool!
You refactored a legacy app. Great!
But what problem did it solve?
What metrics improved?
Why did it matter to the business?
In a sea of resumes, impact wins. And in 2025, when many teams are leaner, every hire is about ROI, not just skills.
A recent Indeed study found that resumes with quantified impact statements are 32% more likely to get callbacks.
Don’t just say what you did, show why it mattered and put a metrix on it.
So, if someone scanned your resume today, would they see a coder or a problem-solver who moved the needle?
