Frontend Engineer resume guide

This guide helps you tailor a Frontend Engineer resume to a specific job description while keeping it clear, truthful, and ATS-friendly.

What hiring teams look for

• UI craft and product thinking
• Performance (bundle, rendering, UX)
• Accessibility and design systems
• Collaboration with design/product

Strong resume structure

• Header (name, location, links)
• 2–3 line summary aligned to the role
• Skills (grouped, not a keyword dump)
• Experience (impact-first bullets)
• Projects (optional but powerful)
• Education / certifications (as relevant)

Skills section: what to include

• Core: JavaScript/TypeScript
• Framework: React/Vue/Angular (primary)
• UI: design systems, component libraries
• Testing: unit/e2e
• Performance: Lighthouse, profiling

Bullet writing: the formula that works

Use: Action + Method + Result (+ Scope)

Examples:

• “Built a component library and improved reuse across 4 products, reducing UI regressions by 25%.”
• “Optimized bundle and rendering, improving Lighthouse score from 62 → 90.”
• “Led accessibility fixes (WCAG), reducing support issues and improving conversion.”

ATS and formatting notes

• Use readable section headings
• Avoid embedding key info inside images

Common pitfalls

• Only listing frameworks
• No mention of UX outcomes
• Ignoring accessibility entirely
