Tips for a Frontend Engineer resume

  1. Mention performance numbers (Core Web Vitals, bundle size) — they are concrete and rare on resumes.
  2. Name the design tools you work with, since frontend roles often sit close to design teams.
  3. Keep the portfolio link near the top so reviewers can see real work.
  4. Avoid listing every library you have touched; pick the ones in the job post.
  5. Run the built-in resume checker and paste the job description into the keyword match before you download.
