Guide to presenting React.js, component architecture, hooks, and state management on a frontend developer resume.
Standard Placement Tip:
List React under a 'Libraries & Frameworks' or 'Frontend Tools' subcategory. Pair it with state libraries (Redux, Zustand) or build tools (Vite, Webpack).
Paste your resume skills section or work history below to see which keywords are present and which ones are missing.
Strong resume bullets require an action verb, description of what you did, and a quantified metric. Avoid responsibilities list; show results.
Weak: Built web pages using React components.
Strong: Developed 20+ reusable React components using TypeScript, reducing frontend build duplications and speeding up UI release cycles by 30%.
Built a chat interface using React, Context API, and WebSockets to enable real-time messaging across users.
Next.js is built on top of React. Knowing React is a prerequisite. Mention both on your resume if you have server-side rendering experience.
