Lukas’s cover letterWhy this resume works
Measured, user-facing results
Load time, Lighthouse score and support tickets are numbers a hiring manager can picture on their own product.
Accessibility is shown, not claimed
Bringing 40 pages up to WCAG 2.1 AA is a specific piece of work. "Passionate about accessibility" would not be.
Side column for quick facts
Skills and languages sit in the narrow column, so the main column is left for experience.

Skills worth considering
Tips, section by section
- Profile
- Two or three sentences: who you are, what you are strongest at and what you are looking for. For example:
Frontend developer with 4+ years of experience building fast, accessible web applications in React and TypeScript. Works closely with designers and backend teams to ship polished interfaces that measurably improve conversion and usability.
- Experience
- Most recent job first. Two to four bullets per job, each starting with a verb and ending with a result where you can.
- Skills
- Match the keywords in the job ad with skills you actually use. Six to ten skills are usually enough.
- Education
- With experience, keep education short: degree, school and years.
Tips for frontend developer resumes
- Put a portfolio or GitHub link in the header if you have live projects. Frontend reviewers often click before they read.
- Group skills by what you use daily. A list of every library you have touched makes it hard to see your core stack.
