Most frontend resumes list the same 20 buzzwords and hope something sticks. This page breaks down exactly what recruiters and hiring engineers check first, what to include, what to cut, and how to write bullets that read like shipped work — not a tech-stack word cloud.
A recruiter spends 20–30 seconds on first pass. A hiring engineer spends longer, but only if the first pass survives. Here's what both are actually looking for, in order.
Don't dump 40 keywords in one line. Group them like a codebase — core language, framework ecosystem, tooling, and the "invisible" skills that quietly signal seniority.
The difference isn't talent — it's whether the bullet describes a task or a result.
No error message. No red squiggly line. Just silence — and a rejection email three weeks later.
Claiming "expert" in React, Vue, Angular, and Svelte reads as expert in none. Pick the one you actually shipped production code in and go deep.
Recruiters click. If it 404s, spins forever, or shows three forked repos with no README, that's the whole impression formed.
"Worked on the homepage" tells them nothing. "Reduced homepage load time by 40%" tells them you understand impact.
ATS software can't read text baked into an image. Your skills section becomes invisible to the very system scanning it.
"Seeking a challenging position to utilize my skills" is filler a recruiter has read a thousand times. Cut it — let your work speak.
