Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Read the wiki and ‘Submission Instructions’ and use the provided templates/flair — posts are often removed if you don’t follow them.
Links
No explicit link policy. Default to no URL: link-plus-young-account is one of the most common automated removal patterns on Reddit.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: question, showcase, guide
Headline: role — years — discipline — target job. Post in first person/context (but paste resume bullets, not full narrative). Keep posts short: a pasted/anonymized resume excerpt + 1–3 lines of context (target role, concerns, what feedback you want). Tone: professional, specific, quantifiable. Upvoted: clear, measurable bullets and targeted requests; removed: vague “fix my resume” or posts that ignore the wiki/submission instructions.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked August 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/engineeringresumes's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
