Resume gap analysis for Frontend Developer
JavaScript depth is stated, never evidenced
Most Frontend Developer resumes list JavaScript as a bullet in a skills bar. Job descriptions ask what you built with it. Attach JavaScript to one project, its scope, and the result.
No numbers against Core Web Vitals
Hiring managers for this role scan for Core Web Vitals and bundle size. A resume without those figures reads as a frontend developer who was present, not one who moved anything.
Next.js listed, Tailwind CSS missing
JDs for this role usually pair Next.js with Tailwind CSS. Naming only one signals partial coverage of the workflow and drops your keyword match.
TypeScript and React buried under duties
TypeScript and React are core screening keywords for Frontend Developer openings, but they often sit at the bottom of a paragraph. An ATS weights the first lines of each role far more heavily.
Scope of ownership is unclear
"build accessible, responsive interfaces from design files" means something different at a 5-person team and a 500-person org. State team size, budget, volume, or user count so the reviewer can place your HTML5 experience.
Certifications and qualifications not surfaced
Meta Front-End Developer Certificate appear in the preferred section of most Frontend Developer JDs. If you hold one, it belongs near the top, not in a trailing "Others" line.
Responsibilities
- build accessible, responsive interfaces from design files
- optimise page performance and Core Web Vitals
