  • Does it use key words and phrases from the job description?

  • Does all discussion of your experience include concrete examples?

  • Does it close with a short summary of why you are a good fit and thank the company for reviewing your application?

  • Is it no longer than one page?

  • Does it include your email, phone, LinkedIn, and Github for contact info?

  • Is it free from spelling and grammar mistakes?
