Resume for a Full-Stack Developer
Full-stack postings want someone who can carry a feature from the database to the screen. Most candidates are stronger on one side, and that is fine. Show both sides honestly and lead with the side the posting stresses.

Example resume
How NextJobOffer handles it
You add your career history once, and NextJobOffer stores it word for word as your inventory.
For each full-stack developer posting you paste, it picks the lines from your inventory that match what the posting asks for and rewrites them in the posting's words, as far as you choose: Basic, Tailored or Extreme.
It never invents an employer, title or date; unless you choose Extreme it never adds a skill or a number, and every line it adds, removes, rephrases or bridges is marked for you to review before you export.
Questions
Should I split front-end and backend skills?
Grouping skills by area makes a full-stack resume easier to scan. The order of the groups can follow the posting; the skills themselves should be ones you have used.
Will NextJobOffer add full-stack developer skills I don't have?
Not unless you ask it to. By default a requirement that isn't in your own history appears as a gap, with notes on how to speak to it in an interview; you can say "I have this" and add it in your own words, or choose Extreme, which can add what the job asks for after you tick a box.
Can I see what changed before I send it?
Yes. Every tailored resume comes with a visible diff of what was added, removed, rephrased or bridged, and you can edit, swap or undo any line before you export the PDF.
