Web Developer resume

How should a self-taught or bootcamp web developer write a resume?

Lead with projects and skills, then training, then any other work history. Employers hiring junior web developers look for proof you can build and finish real sites, and your projects are that proof.

Structure:

  • Summary naming your stack and the type of site you want to build.
  • Projects: two to four, each with a live link, stack and what you built.
  • Skills, grouped.
  • Training: bootcamp or online courses with dates.
  • Previous experience, focusing on transferable skills such as client contact or deadlines.

Example project line (fictional): "Built a responsive booking site for a local yoga studio with HTML, Tailwind CSS and a small Node.js API; the owner now takes bookings online."

Real users, even a small business or a charity, make a project far more convincing than a tutorial clone.
