I aspired to work at places alongside people who were curious to learn, wanted to make a difference, and looked to improve things.
After countless interviews and rejections, I felt shock, disbelief, and relief when I finally landed my offers; it was like running a marathon.
To make my résumé stand out, I focused tightly on technical strengths, created concise content, added visual appeal, and communicated clearly.
