Where to put skills on your resume (and what to leave off)
2026-06-12 · 4 min read
Reddit resume reviews roast 40-line skills sections. ATS still needs **keyword coverage**—the fix is placement, not deletion.
**Weave into bullets first** Proven tools belong in outcome lines.
**Skills section second** List languages/frameworks you will defend in interview—group by category, match JD order where possible.
**Leave off** "Microsoft Office," "fast learner," anything you cannot discuss for 5 minutes.
