Engineering · Resume guide
Frontend resumes live or die on framework specificity and user-facing impact: JDs almost always name React, Angular, or Vue explicitly, and hiring managers want performance, accessibility, and shipped-UI evidence rather than a tools list.
These terms appear repeatedly in real frontend developer job descriptions. Use the exact forms below where your experience honestly supports them — exact matches rank; paraphrases often don't.
