> This is the only answer. I'm self taught, but even after working with different software companies for years, side projects are always the thing that gets me my next role.

Under what section in your resume do you put your side projects? Is it under Work Experience?

[bgnm2000]

I have a section called "notable projects", which lists about 4 or 5 in detail (I don't believe that resume's need to be a single page). But generally - the cover letter is always more important anyway (and especially if you don't have an intro). I usually like to try and tie why I'm the right person for a role, to some specific work I've accomplished in XYZ side project.

I think a sociologist could write a thesis on the never ending argument of how a resume "should" look.

Anyway I put them under "projects," right next to a couple company projects. The projects section is structured very similarly to the "work" section.
