Treat CV writing as a SEO task: "JavaScripted the JavaScript scripts using the JavaScript MVC framework Angular.js (JavaScript)." instead of "Implemented using Angular.js".

I've recently written a resolution engine for keywords when matching cv's to job descriptions. it also helps finding patterns in other skills that may be transferrable. i hope to show HN as soon as i finish some performance improvements (which includes writing a brand new db driver :'()

Exactly this.

I don't think Google can give a good match to a Javascript CV with only Angular.js written

Yes, it's stupid. Yes, do it.

I got an interview with Google without having "JavaScript" in my resume, and with tons of AngularJS on it. I did link to my GitHub though, where it shows contributions to Angular, various Angular plugins, and other random libraries.

I ended up turning down the interview after accepting another offer though.

I've got a blatant http://... hyperlink on the top of my resume. Almost nobody clicks on it. I went to an interview where they requested code samples which they could have already reviewed beforehand if they had just followed that link.

Maybe they explicitly looked for people in the Angular.js space?

Yeah, I think you made the right choice turning them down.
