Securing an interview requires a polished resume that highlights your work experience, qualifications, and technical skills. Your resume needs to effectively communicate that you have the skills and experience required for the position. As a web developer, you aren’t expected to be a graphic design expert, but a well designed resume can make a big difference. Most recruiters only spend a few seconds on their initial resume scan.

### 5. Your education (including HackYourFuture)

The educational section of your resume is still an important aspect, however, you shouldn’t go into too much detail. The more experience you have, the less you need to focus on your education section. You need to list your school, college or university degree obtained, and dates you attended in your education section. As for your HackYourFuture Education, simply add a short description and links to the curriculum. Here some examples:

Companies hiring interns from the HackYourFuture program know that you don’t have years of experience working as a web developer. However, they want to know you work hard, that you are eager to grow, that you have an eye for detail (especially if you want to be a frontend or full stack developer) and that you never stop learning. A way to show just that is by adding the most challenging and beautiful projects you’ve worked on during and after the program. Be sure to provide a link to the deployed version of the project and another link to the source code. Here some beautiful examples:
