Answered By Mentor Madhav Bhatia

Hi Ravi,

To enhance your odds of securing an interview at MAANG, structure your resume effectively. Begin with essential details like name, contact, and LinkedIn. Craft a brief summary highlighting your coding skills, projects, and accomplishments. A mentor can provide valuable insights on optimising your resume to match the company's expectations and preferences. List your technical skills and education, focusing on key courses and honors. Showcase technical projects with GitHub links, emphasising the technologies used and your contributions. Highlight achievements in exams, olympiads, and coding contests. Include any work experience related to software development. Optimise the resume with job-specific keywords for ATS(Application Tracking System) compatibility, keeping it within a two-page limit and maintaining a professional format.
