What would you do with your LIFE if money and fame were no objects? If approval and validation were not needed? If there was nothing to gain and nothing to lose in this wretched world?

My favorite laws of life:

- Murphy’s Law: Whatever can happen, will happen
- FAFO: More you F*ck around, more you Find out
- Pareto: 80% of results come from 20% of effort
- Occam’s Razor: The simplest answer is the right one
- Amor Fati: Love thy fate

What laws do you live by?

[4] Use “I did X using Y to achieve Z formula” to show impact.
[5] And quantify that impact using numbers. Eg: generated $10K revenue.
[6] Referrals get you priority.
[7] But if you don’t get one in time, apply anyway - you might still get the call!

I have been applying to @Google since 2021 but my resume finally got shortlisted in 2024.

Here’s how I changed my resume over those 2+ years, along with the incremental improvements that got me into Google🧵

[Harshit Sharma @rollingHarshit]

📚 Tips from my trial-and-error that you can apply to improve your resume today:

[1] Must have sections: Education, Skills, Experience, Projects, Coding profiles
[2] Check ATS score: every time you make big changes
[3] Cut buzzwords: Recruiters don’t like them, neither does ATS

I wrote a detailed writeup on changes in my resume over the years, you can check it out here - https://t.co/U5fKv4RB5S

[Harshit Sharma @rollingHarshit]

December 2021. I was still unplaced.
I got 3 straight rejections: @UnthinkableSW, @TCS Digital & @IncedoInc.

This was in college (2021).
Which means Smaller competition pool.
Still missed shortlist 3 times in a row :")

If you're getting ignored right now:
It’s not you.
It’s how your resume is presenting you.

Fix the presentation -> Fix your chances.

Your next big role might take same time.
But when it arrives, the wait will be worth the joy

You got this 🧡💛
