What recruiters will check first in New York

Recruiters scan for role fit, recent proof, and keywords. For Data Engineer, your resume should show the tools you used, the data you worked with, the question or pipeline you owned, and the result.

Check this before sending another application.

  • Put the exact job title and adjacent titles in your summary.

  • Use 3 to 5 achievement bullets that show measurable outcomes.
