Key Takeaways

  • Include both full names and abbreviations: "JavaScript (JS)," "TypeScript (TS)," "Next.js (NextJS)"
  • Framework versions matter: "React 18" signals currency; "React" alone does not distinguish a React 16 developer from a React 19 developer
  • DevOps and deployment keywords (Docker, CI/CD, AWS) are increasingly required for mid-level and senior postings
  • Place tool names in your skills section AND in experience bullets for double matching
  • ATS systems used by tech companies (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) are more sophisticated than enterprise systems (Workday, Taleo) — but format for the lowest common denominator
