Enginursday: A Beginner's Guide to Sourcing from Alibaba

Alibaba is the Wild West of product sourcing - a freewheeling, international bazaar offering low-cost bulk parts and products that range from the mundane to the, well, bizarre. Here, the risks are high but the potential benefits manifold. You may seek your fortune reselling low-cost goods (or finding low-cost parts for your widget), but you may find yourself flim-flammed, hoodwinked and yes, even bamboozled. But oh, the rush when your diligence pays off!

It seems excited.

I will begin with an important disclaimer: at this stage in my procurement career (and in SparkFun’s history), sourcing from Alibaba is basically the last resort. SparkFun has worked hard over the years to develop a list of trusted vendors. Many of these companies have locally-based representatives, knowledgeable sales contacts and field application engineers we can meet with face-to-face to discuss all our latest needs and quirks. Others are vendors in China, Taiwan and other countries whom we discovered via Alibaba eons ago, and have since built long-standing relationships with.

If you already have a supplier with whom you have an established, trusting relationship, love and cherish them all the days of your life. Understand also that their capabilities may extend far beyond what’s reflected in their catalog or line card. If there’s something specific you need, ask your existing contacts. At the very least, they may be able to provide you with a referral. I also highly recommend ThomasNet as an alternative starting point for finding reliable, quality sources for components, hardware, equipment, you-name-it.

That said, onto the fun. If you’re starting from scratch as we once did, or you simply like to walk on the wild side, you may be ready to plunge into the wacky world of Alibaba. Let’s begin with the search bar.

Don't look at my search history.

This part is pretty straightforward. Here, you can search for parts by keyword or toggle the little arrow to search for particular suppliers. As with any search, you’ll want to find that sweet spot between specificity and generality. It’s also important to know what that thing you’re looking for is called! That seems obvious enough, but keep in mind that there are different synonyms out there for the same type of product (e.g. “coin cell” vs. “button cell”), and businesses in other countries might have different naming conventions than you’re used to.

You can also browse items by market (at left) if you have a vague idea of the type of things you’re looking for and just want to peruse the marketplace. There’s also a new image search feature (the camera icon at the right). As it turns out, you can even search for products based on the current status of your life:

Time to hit the gym!

Once you’ve honed in on a thing you might want to buy in quantity, you’ll see on the product page a handy little pricing scale, info about shipping charges and lead time.

How many horse masks will you require today?

Great, right? Well, ignore it. IGNORE IT ALL. It could be accurate, sure, or it could be that the supplier just put random information in there because honestly-who-really-knows. If you want to know how much the thing costs, ask.

But first, try to learn a little about the supplier by clicking on the supplier name at right and perusing their company page. Alibaba is far less Mos Eisley Cantina-ish than it once was. They have a variety of verifications and certifications to help you sort out the legit from the sketchy, although there’s always some risk regardless. I like to see a high customer satisfaction rate, “Gold Supplier” status (multiple years is always a plus) and a decent rate of response.

Lookin' good.

Once you’ve achieved that nice, warm, fuzzy feeling, feel free to message away. At the bottom of the page you’ll see the box you can use to send a message to the supplier. I cannot stress enough how important it is to keep this first message as simple as possible. I’ve found that I’m far less likely to get a response if I include multiple questions, customization requests, lists of products, sample inquiries, etc. I know, it’s hard to imagine that somewhere a sales rep is perusing their inbox and smashing that delete button every time a message is more than three sentences long, but there it is. Here is the basic template of what I send:

Dear Mr/Ms [rep name], Hello, this is [name] with [company name]. Please quote me for [quantity] pcs of your [product name or part number]. Thanks and kind regards, [name] [email address]

That’s it! This is not to imply that Alibaba suppliers won’t send you samples, customize their product, give you quotes for multiple pricing tiers and multiple products, discuss terms, etc. This simple first email jus gets the conversation going, and you can feel free to move on to all those subjects and more once the wheel has begun turning. Alibaba has a messenger feature, but I always include my email in the signature of the first message to emphasize that I’m okay with them emailing me directly. Personally, I prefer to communicate this way, but to each their own. If you do include your email, you will eventually get spammed, so be ready. You can also make a “business card” on Alibaba, which includes your contact information, and you can choose whether to share it or not with each message you send.

Yes, there is such a thing as too much squid.

You may find you’re not satisfied with a quote or minimum order quantity (MOQ). $1,400 per ton of giant squid tentacles may be more than you are willing to pay, or perhaps you only require 10 tons of them instead of 25. Again, ask away. Alibaba reps often have room to haggle. If you have other quotes or retail pricing to show them for comparison, go for it. Just don’t be a jerk about it. Consider what you might be able to offer them to make it worth their while.

If an MOQ is higher than you’re willing to commit to, it doesn’t hurt to see if the supplier has some flexibility there, too. Maybe they can lower it if you commit to purchasing multiple different products (giant squid eyeballs?). You might also consider committing to multiple smaller orders spaced out over the course of a year, assuming you’re confident in your volume projections. If you have a slew of questions, I recommend putting them in a numbered list to avoid important details getting lost in a big block of text.

I always request at least one sample before agreeing to purchase an item in quantity. Usually, suppliers with whom you do not have an existing relationship will expect you to pay for the sample, and that’s quite understandable. Sometimes they’ll just request that you cover the shipping. I usually ask them to send an invoice with a PayPal ID/email, but you can also pay directly via Alibaba. It’s important when requesting a sample (as with a full order quantity) to confirm what it is you’ll be receiving before committing to it. Some product pages display multiple products, or have multiple versions of a single product available with varying specs. Requesting a datasheet, manual, or any other supporting documentation is crucial.

This may require some vetting.

Once you’ve received, evaluated and approved a sample, you may be ready to commit to a full order. I won’t dive too far down the rabbit hole of payment terms, but most Alibaba suppliers will expect money up front, often via bank wire transfer (“T/T”) or PayPal, at least for your first order. Be wary of Western Union, as it offers relatively little protection against scams.

Alibaba also offers its own Alibaba Secure Payment platform. I haven’t personally used it for more than small dollar (usually sample) transactions, but it does offer a path for disputing transactions. You will also want to work out your shipping method and terms with the supplier. That is yet another topic that could be a post unto itself.

No, we don't make scooters.

A final word of caution: be wary of copyright, trademark and patent infringement. Even companies that are generally open source still aren’t exactly thrilled with companies impersonating their brand. It’s one thing to build off an existing design, but it’s another thing entirely to copy it and slap another’s logo on there. Knockoffs tend to hide quality and reliability problems behind the mask of others’ hard work and diligence. And they leave the real companies’ support personnel scrambling to field questions about products that end up having nothing to do with them. So once again, don’t be a jerk.

Moreover, should you choose to be a jerk nonetheless (or inadvertently stumble into jerkhood), customs often stops shipments of knocked off products, and you as a reseller are potentially liable for the things you choose to put on the market. Some violations are harder to spot than others. Did you know you can trademark a vague color combination? Well, neither did we!

Which leads me to another thing: educate yourself on product compliance issues (RoHS, CE, FCC, Prop 65, etc.), export restrictions, etc., or consult with someone who can get you on track in that vein. There’s a whole prairie full of rabbit holes there.

Anyway, if you want to source on Alibaba, just remember the five Ds:

1) Don’t take anything for granted 2) Documentation, documentation, documentation 3) Don’t be a jerk 4) Do do do due diligence 5) Dkeep it simple

And here is my Comprehensive List of Things Not to Buy on Alibaba:

ICs (take our word for it)

Uranium (this happened)

Human hair (because yikes)

Endangered species

Stuff that will get you sued

Things you otherwise can’t legally resell

Bulk mayonnaise (I mean why)

Doll heads (self-explanatory)

This cannot be unseen.

Be careful out there, folks. Take my timeless wisdom into consideration, trust your instincts and you will (probably?) do just fine. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment and I will emerge from my meditation cave to reply as soon as the Alibaba oracle bestows her answers upon me. Happy hunting!

Software Engineer Resume: Guide and a Sample [+20 Examples]

Welcome to your new office. There's your brand new Herman Miller chair. Your SSD laptop with vertical and horizontal monitors. Your business credit card.

Down the hall is a staff kitchen like something from the Zuckerberg mansion. There's free food. Free laundry. Free massages.

Basically, you've nailed a job at a unicorn company.

And it all started with a software engineer resume that stood out like Linus Torvalds.

Now. How can you make that dream a reality?

It's simple. Just show that great company how much they need you.

This guide will demonstrate:

A software engineering resume example better than 9 out of 10 other resumes.

How to write a software engineer resume that will land you more interviews.

Tips and examples of how to put skills and achievements on a software engineer resume.

Software Engineer Resume Example - See +20 resume templates and create your resume here.

What's the Best Format for a Software Engineer Resume?

The best example of a software engineer resume is one that gets the interview.

Yet recruiters, and especially those at unicorn companies, spend only six seconds looking at each resume.

That's why you must use a resume format that grabs on like a LogMeIn connection and doesn't let go.

Use the reverse-chronological layout. It front-loads your strengths, showing all your best moments at a glance.

To make it really pop, use clear, legible fonts and plenty of white space.

Finally, save your software developer resume in PDF format. That'll keep your layout intact as it travels through cyberspace.

Pro Tip: PDFs are the way to go unless they conflict with the company's Applicant Tracking System. How can you know? Check the job listing.

Not completely sold on the reverse-chronological resume format? See our guide: "3 Resume Formats: How to Choose the Best One [Examples]"

How to Write a Resume Summary or Resume Objective

Many career experts say, "When writing a software engineer resume, don't use a resume summary or objective statement."

Those career experts are wrong.

A generic summary or objective will make recruiters yawn.

But a good one will grab hiring managers like a sudo command.

Use a resume summary if you've got lots of experience.

Use a resume objective if you're a new graduate or you're switching careers.

Let's start with the resume summary for a software developer. It's a highlights reel of your best shining moments.

But there's a right way and a wrong way to do it.

Two Senior Software Engineer Resume Summary Examples

Look at the two very different software engineer resume examples below:

wrong

Software engineer with 7+ years experience, skilled in C++, ASP.NET, SQL, Java, Python, Javascript, C#, Perl, and PHP, looking for a position as a software developer for Oracle.

Okay, it sounds impressive. But it's got a fatal error. It's just like all the others. No wonder career experts say to avoid it!

Now try this short sample, from a much better software developer resume:

right

Results-Focused Software Engineer

Energetic software engineer with 7+ years experience developing robust code for high-volume businesses. Increased code-efficiency of XYZ Corp customer portal by 55%. Boosted customer retention by 25%. Spearheaded a team that won the 2016 BOSSIE Award for cloud computing. An enthusiastic team player and deep creative thinker.

Wow, right? So do you need to win a BOSSIE to get the job? No. Just sift through your past and find those glowing moments that scream, "Hire this genius!"

Start with a deep, brainstormed file of all your "selling points." Then, when writing your software engineer resume summary section, use the 3 or 4 that match the job description.

Our resume builder will give you tips and examples on how to write your resume summary. You can easily copy them straight into your resume - it will save you a ton of time.

Inside our resume builder you will find tips and examples for your resume.

How to Write a Resume Objective for an Entry Level Software Engineer

Maybe your work experience is as thin as a healthcare company firewall. Don't sweat it. Use a resume objective. It's the way to go for fresh graduates or those looking for a new niche.

Use these two very different software engineer resumes as a starting point:

Two Entry Level Computer Science Resume Examples

wrong

Looking for a job as a software engineer because I've got a degree in it, I have studied 23 programming languages like everyone else, and I'm extremely good, trust me.

That's not a resume objective statement. It's a one-way ticket to the recycle bin. Now of course you won't do that, but if you don't get really specific, that's how it'll read.

Think measurable details like in the software developer resume objective below:

right

Team player software engineer with a can-do attitude, phenomenal time management skills, and a strong user focus. Has developed several web and mobile apps, including a home security system using Raspberry Pi and a webcam.

Wow, right? Specific. But the real key here is whether those strong points match the job description. If not, flat tire.

But what if you don't have even that much experience? I'll explain the fix for that in a minute.

Pro Tip: Your resume objective or resume summary is the icing on your job search cake. Write it last, and include the best bits from the rest of your resume.

Still fuzzy on how to write a professional resume summary or objective for a software engineer resume? See the computer science resume template at the top of this article. Or see our guides: "How To Write A Resume Summary: 21 Best Examples You Will See" AND "+20 Resume Objective Examples - Use Them on Your Resume (Tips)"

How to Describe Your Software Engineer Experience

Let's circle back to our unicorn company job. The one with lots of breaks and free Fitbits and a complimentary Kinesis keyboard.

How much do you think experience matters to that company?

If you said, "A lot," gold star.

That's why your software engineer resume's experience section needs to sing your programming experience from the rooftops.

Put your most recent work first. Showcase 4-5 wins and responsibilities that fit the job offer.

Glance at the senior software developer resume samples below. They're for a job opening that values leadership, production, file management, and security.

Senior Software Engineer Resume Examples

right

Senior Software Engineer

CloudWallop Inc.

July 2015 - July 2017

Responsible for spearheading teams that handled the software development life cycle for 10 client projects, end to end.

Built infrastructure to handle millions of client files in proprietary systems.

Led the drive to implement the Principle of Least Privilege across 100% of software development staff.

Reduced security breaches by 73% for all customers companywide.

Built security into new product features to achieve 100% compliance with industry best practices.

See that? The candidate used her experience section to prove she fits the job like a glove. She also used great action words to do it.

Now look at another senior software engineering resume example.

wrong

Senior Software Engineer

CloudWallop Inc.

July 2015 - July 2017

Responsible for leading teams of software developers.

Used Java to implement scalable features for client software.

Worked independently to meet tight deadlines in a dynamic team environment.

Used a solid understanding of web protocols to handle a large workload.

Worked on several security projects.

Can you see the problem with that software engineer resume sample? It's generic. No achievements.

Yet this is the same person and the same job. In the second resume objective example, she just hasn't figured out the hack yet!

What if You Don't Have Experience?

If you lack experience, don't fret.

It's actually pretty easy to get some.

You can do free projects for small businesses. You can contribute to open source projects. You can even come up with your own coding activities at home.

Maybe you've designed a home security app for your apartment. To you it was all in fun. But it might make a hiring manager say, "This kid has drive."

Which of the two junior software engineer resume samples below look more impressive?

wrong

Freelance Software Engineer

June 2016 - present

Received my BA in Software Engineering in 2016.

Still trying to build experience. I've sent off 15 software engineer resumes so far.

You can't blame the job candidate for not having experience. But she could have the software engineer experience section below.

right

Freelance Software Engineer

June 2016 - present

Composed an app to allow voice control of lights, garage door, and home thermostat, using an Amazon Echo and Raspberry Pi.

Built a real time stock picking app that compares current price to Uniform Adjusted Financial Reporting Standards data to identify buy-now opportunities.

Built new search functionality into the next generation StratoDB scalable database management system.

President, XYZ University Young Women in Tech. Facilitated monthly meetings to enhance a diverse community in software engineering. Managed activities like monthly tech talks, workshops, and student panels.

Here's a great list of GitHub projects beginners can chip in on to build a little instant PR. And this Quora thread gives suggestions for beginner projects that add quick experience to any resume.

Pro Tip: Don't lie. If you brag about a skill or experience in your resume, then can't demonstrate it in the interview, you're toast. Talk up only those strengths you can prove.

Make your professional software developer resume even better with action words. See our guide: "+80 Examples of Resume Action Words for Every Profession"

Is Your Education Section Underperforming? It Might Be

Unless you went to Harvard or got a 4.0, your education section doesn't matter.

Right?

That's absolutely false.

Your education section doesn't matter if you make it generic.

The education section of your computer engineering resume can be the thing that gets you hired.

Start off with the basics:

College Name and Location.

Years in School.

Degree.

The magic happens when you add your list of college "wins." Just like with work experience, make a master list of your achievements first.

Then, pick those 4-6 items that best fit the job description.

Can you spot the difference between these two software developer resume samples?

Two Java Developer Resume Examples

wrong

2012-2015 BA, Software Engineering

University of Washington Bothell

Received a BA in Software Engineering

Took classes in C#, C++, Java, PHP, SQL, Perl, Python, Ruby.

GPA 3.7

Worked in the cafeteria.

As generic as a no-name box of noodles. It could be anyone.

Now clap your eyes on a software developer resume example that grabs the recruiter by the eyeballs:

right

2012-2015 BA, Software Engineering

University of Washington Bothell

Pursued my passion for Java server programming through six advanced classes.

VP of Jugger-Is, the campus machine learning club, 2014-2015.

Delivered an actionable webinar on best practices for security in cloud servers that was linked to by the popular "Dr. Dobbs Journal."

My article, "How Cloud Computing Will Change Your Life" was published in the campus magazine.

See?

That second software engineering resume example stands out like red-font annotation.

The point here isn't that you should go back in time and do all those the activities. It's that you probably already have an impressive list and you just aren't using it.

See the computer science resume template at the top of this article for an example.

Pro Tip: Need help tailoring your software developer resume to the job description? See this great guide on how to tailor a resume any job offer.

For advice to make your software engineer resume jump out like a neon pop-up window, see our guide: "How to Put Your Education on a Resume [Tips & Examples]"

How to Put Skills on a Resume for a Software Engineer

Picture you're a hiring manager.

You've got a folder with 250+ junior software engineer resumes.

Do you read every one?

No. You don't.

Like Tony Stark hunting a needle in a haystack, you use a magnet.

In this case, that's an Applicant Tracking System (ATS).

It sends the 75 resumes with the right keywords to another folder, which you read. The others go to folder #2.

Stay out of folder #2.

Don't worry. I'm going to show you how to pick the right software engineer resume skills keywords to get you hired.

First, build your master list of every skill you have. Soft skills, hard skills, any skills at all. You'll refer to it for every software developer resume you make, so spend a little time on it.

Start with the sample resume keywords list below, then brainstorm your own. Look at other job offers online for inspiration too.

"Soft" Skills "Hard" Skills Languages Creativity Web Development Java Leadership Data Structures SQL Communication Open Source Experience C# Critical Thinking Coding Java Script Calm Demeanor Security C++ Collaboration Machine Learning Python Inquisitiveness Debugging iOS Enthusiasm Problem Solving PHP Positive Attitude PHP Ruby/Rails

Next, read the job offer. From a LinkedIn job description, we pulled the following skills keywords:

Skills

Problem analysis, problem solving, distributed systems knowledge, Java, Java debugging, troubleshooting, open source knowledge, interpersonal, self-motivated.

Last, match the skills you truly have with the skills list from the job description. But don't just list them.

Prove them on your software developer resume by weaving them into your experience and education sections.

Example of Skills on a Software Engineer Resume

Here's how to put skills on a software engineer resume.

Let's say you're applying for a job at Airbnb. It values teamwork, building full stack applications, creative thinking, data storage skills, and Java.

So, include those in your skills section, experience section, and education section, like this:

Skills

How to Add Other Sections for an Effective Resume

Got awards, accolades, or certifications and want to put them in your resume?

Add another section.

Call it projects, awards, accolades, hobbies, or whatever seems to fit.

Add only those things that'll make a hiring manager whistle like R2D2.

Look at the examples below from two distinct software engineer resumes:

right

Activities

Moderated a security panel at the Developer Week convention in 2014.

Shortlisted for a National Center for Women and IT Award in 2015.

Member, IAENG Society of Software Engineers since 2013.

wrong

Walked dogs at a local shelter three times.

Long walks on the beach.

The activities in the first example will make a recruiter say, "She's passionate. I bet she'll bring that passion to our company."

Why You Need an Online Portfolio

If you make a good enough resume, recruiters will weed-whack a path to your front steps.

Right?

Sadly, no.

In fact, as G.I. Joe might say, making a great software engineer resume is only half the battle.

The other half is using it to point to good examples of your work.

That's why you need a solid online portfolio.

For inspiration, see this great software engineer portfolio, or this, or this.

Pro Tip: Use your online portfolio to show off all your projects, then link specifically to the ones that make the most sense for the job offer at hand.

Here's the Most Common Myth About Cover Letters

Nobody writes cover letters anymore, right?

That's true. If you're talking about the ones who don't get hired.

A cover letter is the short version of your resume. It tells recruiters whether you're worth looking at.

Without a cover letter, nearly half of all recruiters will pass by your professional software engineer resume without a second look.

Here are a couple tips to nail it:

Use the recruiter's name.

Mention a detail you like about the company.

Show how you can help the company.

For that last part, look at the sample below, from a cover letter from a software developer resume. The position values leadership, communication, and Java programming.

Example

Spearheaded development for a suite of high-volume services in Java.

Deployed multiple operating services on Linux.

Received a JAX Innovation Award for Java programming, 2014.

Implemented pair programming company-wide for a fast-paced development firm. Increased efficiency 35% for all software engineers.

Pro Tip: After you send in your resume and cover letter, follow up! A quick email or phone call can make all the difference. Use findthat.email to dig up missing contact info.

Plus, a great cover letter that match your resume will give you an advantage over other candidates. You can write your cover letter in our resume builder here. Here's what it may look like:
