Building your Turing Resume
After completing the Coding Challenge, you will be prompted to build your Turing Profile. As you start editing your profile, you will see that your resume contents have already been organized and arranged professionally. However, we will still require additional context and information from your end. Just follow these simple steps to polish and finalize your Turing Profile.
Building your Turing Resume
Step 1: Find the Resume Builder in the Turing Profile section of your dashboard.

Turing’s matching engine will present some required actions in your profile in this step. Completing these items will help you get matched with leading U.S. companies faster.
Step 2: Update your “Personal Information” and “Work History” sections.
Start with a professional summary. Keep the summary short and precise, preferably
within 3–5 sentences. For the “Personal Information” section, be sure to include:
- Your specialization
- Years of experience
- Best skills and stack(s)
- Favorite products and industries
- A nice profile picture
While detailing your work experience, be sure to include:
- Your current role
- Hiring company or freelance experience
- Years of experience
- Employment type

Step 3: Post your best projects.
Share a summary of the projects that you’ve worked on in your career. While describing your projects, keep it simple and objective, so clients get to know you better.
Highlight the three best hands-on projects you have developed:
- Focus on your latest work, your contribution, and role in the project.
- Detail the skills for which you have taken Turing tests!
- Mention and tag at least 3 techs and skills you used on each project.
If you passed the test for a specific skill, you’ll be required to tag that skill in at least one project. This will let hiring managers identify where you’ve used the skills that they are hiring for.

Describe your responsibilities and tasks in the project description, mentioning the technology or soft skill applied to achieve each accomplishment. Focus on the project development process instead of the project description, and try to avoid using the first person. Example: “Implemented high-quality code working on the system's back-end using Python and PostgreSQL as the database.”
Don’t forget to tag techs and skills corresponding to your previous employment, projects, and current expectations. This will help Turing’s AI-powered Talent Cloud match you with the best possible jobs.
