What makes these work

  1. Say which Python

    Back-end, automation and data roles use different libraries. Naming Django, Selenium or Pandas places you in the right search.

  2. Hours saved is a result

    '20 hours a month' is easy to believe and easy to check. It beats 'good at automation' every time.

  3. Libraries are keywords

    Recruiters search for FastAPI, Celery or Pytest by name. Put the ones you have used in real projects, not every one you have read about.
