# Full-Stack Resumes That Show You Own the Stack

Recruiters want to see front and back, ownership, and impact. Your resume needs to prove you ship end-to-end--in a format ATS and humans can read.

## What to Put on a Full-Stack Resume

Lead with a short summary: full-stack focus and stack (e.g. React, Node, PostgreSQL). Then experience: 3-5 bullets per role that show what you built (features, APIs, systems), tech on both front and back, and outcome. "Built and deployed X feature; reduced load time by 30%" beats "Worked on X feature."
Include keywords from the job description--React, Node, Python, AWS, etc.--in your bullets so ATS and recruiters see match. Side projects that show full-stack skills can go in a short section with one line each; link to live demos or GitHub.

## Format and Length for Full-Stack Resumes

Single-column, clear headings, no tables or graphics--ATS-friendly. One page for under 5 years; two pages max for senior+. Every line should earn its place; cut old or irrelevant roles.
Link your portfolio or GitHub in the header. Many full-stack roles want to see shipped work; your resume gets you the first look, your portfolio or repos get you the call.
