    If you are into 3D printing, put it on your resume. That shows incredible problem-solving capabilities. We hired someone recently and only found out afterwards that she was into 3D printing as a hobby. If she’d have put that in her resume, she would have gone right to the top at the start. This was for a technical problem-solving, support role.

    I think it kind of depends on your career up until that point. I have a lot of certifications and work experience. I list my past jobs, bullet point out my accomplishments. There is no about me section, or paragraphs. It’s bullet points and a section for clubs, volunteer work, certifications and school.

    If you have less experience then you may want to do schooling first, with projects and accomplishments, clubs, etc and then any work experience.

    The idea is be truthful, but not modest. This is what you are capable of, tell them. I completed project a for b reason by doing c things which resulted in d success. Define those variables over and over again.
