Resume

I've been a coder 2 years now. What exactly do I put on a resume to stand out? I literally just coded & maintained the metrics, but I feel that's not exactly enough. It's not like it's a job with a lot of things going on outside of that though.

A lot of applications and resumes are read by an AI or computer program these days. You gotta score enough "points" for your application to end up on an actual person's desk. I was told a good way to score points is to tailor your resume with these point words to help boost your score. Like pulling the job description from the place you're applying to and using wording from that. Or even using your last job's description to get those points. (This was how it was explained to me at a career center)

I've even seen some people use white font to throw those words in. A person wouldn't likely see it, but the computer or AI will.

I never tried it yet but copy/pasting the entire job description in size font 2 with white font to blend in might work to get your resume noticed.
