I assume, you are considering for developer role.

When product companies evaluate resumes for developer roles, they look for a combination of technical skills, practical experience, and key attributes that indicate a candidate's ability to contribute effectively to the development team.

Few Suggestions from my side which might help:

> Highlight your formal education, such as a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related fields.

> Include any additional coursework or certifications relevant to development.

> Clearly outline your experience in software development or related roles. Detail specific projects, technologies used, and your responsibilities.

> Emphasize your role in coding, debugging, and optimizing software. Highlight any significant contributions or features you developed.

> Mention your proficiency in data structures and algorithms, detailing any relevant coursework or projects.

> Whenever possible, include metrics to quantify your achievements. For example, "Reduced application load time by 30%" or "Implemented a feature that increased user retention by 15%."
