CV rules for Software Engineer

  • Put your tech stack in a scannable Skills block (languages, frameworks, cloud, databases) — ATS keyword-matches it against the job post.
  • Lead each role with impact, not duties: latency cut, users served, deployments automated, costs reduced.
  • Link a GitHub or portfolio; list notable projects with the technologies used and your specific contribution.
  • Keep it one to two pages, reverse-chronological, with consistent date formatting.
2

Recommended format

  • Use a single-column, ATS-safe layout — avoid sidebars and skill 'rating' graphics that parsers drop.
  • Submit as PDF unless a portal (e.g. Jadarat) or employer requests DOCX.
  • Spell out acronyms once (e.g. 'CI/CD (continuous integration/continuous delivery)') so both humans and ATS match them.

ATS and recruiter fit

Mirror the posting's exact stack terms — 'React', 'Node.js', 'AWS', 'Kubernetes', 'microservices' — in your skills and bullets so the ATS scores you as a match. Skip tables and text boxes around code or skills.

Recruiter insight

Saudi tech recruiters scan for stack fit and proof of shipping in seconds. A parser-safe layout that surfaces your technologies and quantified impact beats a heavily designed CV that an ATS cannot read.

Should I list my GitHub and projects?
