By Bhagirath Sheela, founder of JobCatch ·
REST APIs is in the skills of 20 of the resume examples on this site. Put it in your skills, and in a bullet that gives scale: requests, data, uptime. Backend interviewers ask what the service did under load.
Spell it the way postings do
An applicant tracking system matches the words in the posting and does not reliably treat two spellings as one skill. Most postings write REST APIs. Other spellings people use: REST, RESTful APIs, REST API. Use the posting's own spelling for each application.
