Why these resumes work
- Both summaries name the stack in the opening sentence, so a recruiter scanning for React or Spring Boot finds a match before reaching the experience section.
- Numbers stay believable: Sneha’s query drops from four seconds to under one, and Arjun’s p99 latency falls to 180 ms, which reviewers can probe in interviews.
- The fresher resume fills the experience gap with two deployed projects that real students used, showing ownership rather than a list of tutorials followed.
- Arjun’s bullets move from building features to leading migrations and mentoring, which signals readiness for a senior title instead of just more years served.
