What employers look for in a Database / Data Engineering CV / resume

Database and data engineering CVs are reviewed for strong SQL and an understanding of how data moves reliably at scale. Recruiters look for query optimisation, indexing, normalisation, backups and user management for DBA roles, and ETL pipelines, Python, Apache Spark, Airflow and cloud warehouses such as Snowflake or BigQuery for data engineer roles. NoSQL exposure like MongoDB helps. Freshers should describe a pipeline or schema they designed, the data volumes handled in projects, and how they ensured data quality and recovery.
