Frequently asked questions

Should a full stack resume lean frontend or backend?

Mirror the job description. Reorder your skills and bullets so the side the role emphasises comes first, and keep the other side as supporting evidence.

Do I need a portfolio link?

It helps a lot for full stack roles. Put your portfolio or GitHub in the header as plain text, such as danielokafor.dev, so ATS software keeps it.

How many projects should I include?

One or two strong ones with real users or clear technical depth beat five tutorial projects.
