Career Materials
Resume and cover letter.
Major Project 1 was job application materials for an actual role we found online. I submitted a one-page resume and a tailored cover letter. I picked a Software Engineer I role at Amazon, within the Twitch division. I had just finished a Software Development internship at Amazon and could write about it specifically. My resume highlights my professional and project experience using concrete numbers, like the 99.8% reduction in operational overhead from internal tool I built. My cover letter names the role and identifies how I fit well. I did this by using Amazon vocabulary like Brazil, Pipelines, Cradle, AWS CDK. I went through a couple revisions of the cover letter, focusing on the language I was using to describe my experience and how the hiring team would actually read it.
