If your resume is being evaluated against someone else’s, and they are on par with each other.

How can you distinguish yourself?

To your website, blog, code repository, YouTube channel, or any other medium.

Please don’t think they’re a waste of time, as I think many resume reviewers need/want to see something different.

And this is the proof that shows that you know what you’re doing, as it’s in your chocolate pudding.
