• Recruiters can’t gauge the scale of your contributions
• ATS algorithms favor numbers and percentages
• Hiring managers miss evidence of real‑world results

• Add concrete metrics (e.g., users, revenue, performance gains)
• Use action verbs followed by a quantifiable outcome
• Tie each achievement to business or product goals

• Mention the tech stack within each experience bullet
• Update the list regularly as you learn new tools

• ATS may fail to parse non‑standard headings or tables
• Hiring managers waste time locating key information
• Design elements can cause parsing errors on older systems

• Stick to standard headings (Professional Experience, Technical Skills)
• Avoid tables, text boxes, and graphics
• Use a clean, single‑column layout with consistent fonts

• Your resume may be filtered out before a human sees it
• Keywords like ‘SwiftUI’, ‘Jetpack Compose’ signal current expertise
• Missing buzzwords reduces relevance score

• Extract top keywords from mobile job ads (e.g., SwiftUI, Kotlin Coroutines, MVVM)
• Integrate them naturally into summary, skills, and experience bullets
• Avoid keyword stuffing; keep context meaningful
