Why this example passes the ATS

  • The summary names the role and core stack, React, TypeScript and Next.js, in the first sentence, and a Core Web Vitals result in the second, which is what both ATS keyword scans and recruiters look for first.
  • Every bullet pairs a technology with a measurable outcome, for example the checkout rebuild that cut load time 45% and raised Core Web Vitals from 62 to 96.
  • Skills are grouped into core technologies, frameworks, styling and build tools with exact terms like "REST API", "Tailwind CSS" and "CI/CD", so keyword matching works without a 40-item wall of text.
  • Accessibility shows up as its own line item, "accessibility (a11y) and cross-browser compatibility audits", not buried, because a11y is now a standard screening keyword for frontend roles.
  • Certifications use full official names, "Meta Front-End Developer Professional Certificate" and "Google Mobile Web Specialist", so both the long form and any acronym match.

How to adapt this example to your own experience

  1. 1Swap the framework for whatever the job post names, this example uses React and Next.js, but the same structure works for Vue.js, Angular or Svelte.
  2. 2Replace the performance numbers with your own: load time, Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse score, bundle size, or bug count reduced.
  3. 3Keep the skills section to 15-22 tools split across core technologies, frameworks, styling and build tools, matching the categories this example uses.
  4. 4If accessibility work is part of your experience, give it its own bullet like this example does, do not bury it inside a general "built the UI" line.
  5. 5Cut framework and library names you have only touched once. List what you would be comfortable being interviewed on tomorrow.

Questions about the Frontend Developer resume

How long should a frontend developer resume be?

One page for up to about five years of experience, two pages at most for senior or staff frontend engineers with multiple shipped products. Keep the current role and skills section on the first page since that is what gets scanned first.

Do I need to list every JavaScript framework I have used?

No. List the frameworks and libraries you can speak to in an interview, grouped by category, and lead with whatever the job description names first. A focused list of 15 to 22 skills reads better than 40 loosely related keywords.

How important is accessibility (a11y) experience on a frontend resume?

Increasingly important. Many job posts now list WCAG or a11y directly as a requirement, so a dedicated accessibility bullet, even a small one, signals that you build inclusive interfaces by default, not as an afterthought.

Should I include a portfolio link on a frontend developer resume?

Yes, alongside GitHub. A live project or portfolio link lets a recruiter see real UI work in seconds, which matters more for frontend roles than for most other engineering disciplines.

Is this resume format safe for ATS software like Greenhouse or Lever?

Yes. It uses a single column, standard section headings, plain text bullets and consistent dates, which is what parsers in Greenhouse, Lever, Workday and iCIMS read reliably. Export as a text-based PDF, never an image or a heavily designed two-column layout.
