What the ATS and recruiters check
- The exact stack terms in the posting: languages, frameworks, cloud services, databases
- Years with the core stack, read from the dates on each role
- A GitHub, portfolio or project link for early-career candidates
Name things the way the posting does
- Use the posting's spelling: "Kubernetes", not only "k8s"; "Amazon Web Services (AWS)" the first time
- Name the framework, not just the language: "React" and "Next.js", not only "JavaScript"
- Put each skill in the bullet where you used it, and again in the Skills section
