Frontend Developer resume
Frontend resumes get one advantage nobody else has: the work can actually be looked at. A live link that loads in three seconds does more than any bullet on the page, and screeners notice when it's missing.
- 01The framework the posting names. React, Angular and Vue are not treated as substitutes on a screen.
- 02A live link to something you have actually deployed, on top of the repository.
- 03Performance and accessibility awareness, the two things that separate a developer from a template user.
- 04Whether you have worked against a real design system and real API contracts.

Put down only what is true and what you can be interviewed on. A term you cannot defend will win you the screening and then lose you the interview.
Developed responsive web pages using React and CSS as per the design given.
Rebuilt the product listing page in React with virtualised rendering and image lazy-loading, taking LCP from 4.1s to 1.6s and lifting mobile conversion 12%.
- A portfolio link that 404s or takes eight seconds to load. It's the first thing clicked, and the fastest way to lose the role.
- Listing every UI library you have imported once.
- No mention of performance or accessibility anywhere, which reads as never having been responsible for either.

A deployed project with a working link is enough. A slow or broken portfolio is worse than none.
React or Angular for the Indian market?
React dominates product-company postings; Angular remains common in enterprise and services. Match whichever the posting names rather than arguing the case.
How much should I say about design skills?
Enough to show you can implement a design system faithfully. Unless you're applying for a design-engineering role, don't lead with visual design.
