What hiring managers check first

User-facing results

Conversion, load time or accessibility improvements show you understand why frontend work matters to the business.

Modern stack depth

React and TypeScript are common filters. Show where you used them, not just that you know them.

Quality habits

Tests, design systems and accessibility tell a hiring manager your code will hold up.

A link to your work

A GitHub profile or live projects let reviewers check your code and taste.

Mistakes to avoid

  1. Listing every framework

    Angular, Vue, Svelte and React on one resume makes it hard to see your strength. Focus on what you use most.

  2. Describing pages, not impact

    'Built responsive pages' is expected. Add a metric such as speed, conversion or adoption.

  3. Ignoring accessibility

    Accessibility is increasingly required. If you have done this work, give it its own bullet.

Questions

Do I need a computer science degree?
No. Many frontend developers come from bootcamps or are self-taught. A strong portfolio and clear examples of shipped work matter most.
How long should my resume be?
One page for under 5 years of experience. Put your stack in the headline and skills.
Should I include personal projects?
Yes early on, especially if they show skills your jobs don't. Pick one or two polished projects over many unfinished ones.
