Frequently asked questions

How are the suggested skills chosen?
Each job title is matched to a hand-curated set of hard skills, soft skills and tools common for that role. The matching is forgiving, so close titles still find a sensible set. If nothing matches closely, you get a solid general set to start from.
Should I list every suggested skill?
No. List only the skills you can actually back up in an interview. A focused, honest list beats a long one padded with terms you do not really know. Use the suggestions as a checklist of what recruiters expect, then keep the ones that are true for you.
How many skills should I list on a resume?
Around 8 to 12 in a dedicated skills section is a good target: enough to cover the must-haves in the job ad without becoming a wall of words. Grouping them, for example tools, languages and soft skills, lets a recruiter scan them in a couple of seconds.
