Make sure you don't have one resume. If you are applying to a backend Java application, make sure that the first skills in your list are applicable for back end Java and expand on relevant projects. Likewise, if you're applying to a front end JavaScript position, then have that be the thing you lead with. On the other side of the table, here's an applicant showing JavaScript things for a backend Java position... and a bunch more that have Java first. The JavaScript focused resume isn't likely to get a second look. Make sure that your resume reflects the position that you are applying for.
