"Try to modify your resume to be relevant for the job you are applying to."
I always have a hard time trying to understand this. Could you give me an example on how to modify my resume accordingly? Like what sections should I modify exactly? My skills area? Info on my side projects that match the same text like "RESTful API, MVC, etc"
Simply mold the resume to what you are applying for...you can pull keywords and phrases from the job post to match, make sure that all your key skills match or match enough to what they are asking for.
For example, if you are applying for a web developer job, but they want someone that has experience in Java, Adobe Experience Manager, Bootstrap/CSS, Javascript, and HTML, you want to make sure your professional summary highlight some of those keywords, as well as show in your work history and/or key skills that you know them. This can help you to stand out and not get caught in an automated system that eliminates resumes before they are even sent to a human.

One way to ensure that you stand out is to customize your resume to the company. It seems tempting and convenient to send the exact same resume to every job you apply for, but it can really serve you to spend the extra time catering your resume to each individual job. This can simply mean listing skills that you’d use as a front-end developer and changing them if applying for a DevOps position.
Also:
Read the job listing! Are there specific skills that are listed in the description of the position? Be sure to include these in your resume. Hopefully, you are applying to a company that doesn’t use keyword scanning tools to pare down their resume volume, but assume that you are and be sure to include all of the key skills that you think they will be looking for, just in case.
Hello! I read this valueable comment in 2022. Your advise is very important for me. I'm a grad front end developer now and wanna design my resume in these days. I'm currently facing a problem that bothers me. What I only have learned Front-end's frame is Vue, but we know React is the most popular now. So If I didn't write React on my resume, would I receive fewer interview notices?
Next, I want to review the algorithm knowledge. Time is short for the autumn move. If I still need to learn from React, which is the higher priority?
