Resume or DSA?
What Actually Gets You Shortlisted?
Hey champ,
Let’s talk about the two most common questions I get from tech students:
“How do I get shortlisted?”
“What should I actually focus on — resume, DSA, projects, LinkedIn…?”
Here’s what I’ll tell you 👇
💡 If you’re not getting interviews, start here:
✅ 1. Your resume needs to show, not tell
Most resumes say “Built a project using React” — that’s not enough.
Say this instead:
Built a food delivery app using React + Firebase that handled 100+ orders/day, with real-time order tracking and payment integration.
Why it works: Specificity = credibility. Numbers = impact.
✅ 2. Don’t grind Leetcode blindly — focus on problem types
Most companies don’t ask random DSA. They repeat patterns.
Pick 4–5 types (sliding window, 2 pointers, recursion, trees)
and go depth > breadth.
Example: Solve 5–6 problems of the same type back-to-back.
That’s how your brain builds pattern recognition.
✅ 3. Build 1 project that solves a real-world pain
Forget “To-Do App” or “Netflix Clone”.
Build something useful for a local business, college fest, or even your friend.
That’s the kind of project you’ll actually be able to talk about in interviews.
Now — what if someone could walk you through the exact strategy they used to land offers at Flipkart and American Express… step by step?
Not theory. Not fluff. Just what actually worked.
