BEE · How to show it

Lead with what you built. For a Job Zone 4 role, hiring managers and parsers both look for outcomes before credentials. Put two or three results at the top of each job entry, with the scale or effect stated plainly.

Name the tools exactly. This occupation is heavy on named software. A skills section that says "JavaScript, Hypertext markup language HTML, PHP, Cascading style sheets CSS" matches more job descriptions than a general phrase. Use the spelling employers use.

Show critical thinking and judgment and decision making, not just reading comprehension. Critical thinking and judgment and decision making rank close to reading comprehension for this occupation. One bullet per role that shows a decision, a tradeoff or a result covers them.
