Unfortunately because of marketing and the (general) lack of technical expertise by recruiters, you gotta just put the whole kit and kaboodle on your resume. Mine looks like:

Javascript, JS, ES2015, ES2016, ES2017, ES5, ES6, ES7, ES8, Ecmascript 2015, Ecmascript 2016, Ecmascript 2017, HTML, HTML5, CSS, CSS3.... etc.

I worked as a recruiter so I know it's necessary because 1: recruiters ctrl+f like a mofo, and also your resume won't pop up on linkedin/ other sites if you don't hit their tags, and 2: recruiters will scan the "technologies" section to make sure you "have" the language that was given to them on their spec sheet.

Spec sheet will look like:

Web Developer 3+ years experience Knowledge of Javascript, HTML, CSS3

If you have CSS but not CSS3 the recruiter may not realize the difference (or may not realize that pretty much the most important thing on that spec is "Web Developer") and probably won't call.

So in short is calling it Javascript correct? shrug Nothing is correct in this mad world!



I guess if we're supposed to keep our resumes to 1 page we have to use 4 point font?


I use 10, but yea. I mean the bit I just commented about can be smashed onto one to three lines at the top, not a big deal.
