Mirror the job description. Use the exact skill names from the posting so ATS picks them up.
Quantify with results. Instead of "proficient in X," say "used X to achieve Y, resulting in Z."
Place skills strategically. Include a dedicated skills section, but also weave them into your experience bullets.
Prioritize relevance. Lead with the skills most relevant to the target role, not necessarily the ones you're best at.
