What you feel is the most important thing on your Resume to get the interviews in these companies? Is any of opensource work or any other thing which can be helpful to get the interviews (portfolio etc)? Thanks for sharing.

I'm not part of the recruitment process, so I can't speak at all about how resumes are screened and what might give you an advantage.

My personal resume consisted almost entirely of my work accomplishments with a few lines for my education. No side projects.
