The Engineering Portfolio Playbook: Resume + GitHub + Interview Templates for Engineers

Everything you need to present your engineering projects so recruiters actually call you back.

What's inside:

• 14-page strategy guide: what recruiters look at (the 6-second resume test, the 30-second GitHub test), how to write project descriptions that get interviews, the STDR interview method, and 12 mistakes that kill portfolios
• Engineering resume template (.docx): one-page, ATS-friendly, projects-first layout with example bullets using the action + technical detail + result formula
• GitHub README template (.md): the exact structure for documenting projects — hero image, specs table, architecture diagram, results, BOM, build steps
• Project case study template (.md): deep-dive writeup format for your best 2-3 projects — problem, approach, calculation, results, challenges
• Interview project handout (.docx): one-page printable to hand to the interviewer — architecture diagram, key specs, design decisions, debugging story

5 files. ~4 hours to fill in. That's what separates you from 90% of engineering graduates who apply with generic resumes and empty GitHub repos.
