FAQ
In 2026, yes for any mid+ front-end or full-stack role. List as "JavaScript / TypeScript" or "TypeScript (and JavaScript)" depending on which dominates your work.
List all three if all three are honest. The framework keyword is the second-strongest signal after the language itself; recruiters Boolean-search for "React OR Vue OR Svelte" routinely.
Separate Skills line: "Node.js (Express, Fastify, NestJS)." Front-end recruiters skip Node bullets, back-end recruiters look for them.
No. jQuery on a 2026 resume reads as legacy. Mention only if you maintain a legacy codebase that uses it and the role explicitly requires it.
