Overview
What GQL refers to
GQL is a term used in software development for writing, maintaining, and reviewing software. In the ResumeITKeys dictionary it is associated with Languages. Its practical meaning depends on the system, team, and responsibilities described in a role.
A job description may mention GQL in connection with application development, automation, services, integrations, or technical problem solving. Read the surrounding responsibilities to understand the expected depth of knowledge; its presence does not mean every employer requires the same experience.

How to include GQL in a resume
List it in Skills when it is relevant to the role and you can discuss your level accurately.
Show practical use in an experience or project entry: state the task, your contribution, and evidence.
Connect it to a specific project instead of repeating the keyword without context.
Describe proficiency plainly, such as coursework, a completed project, or professional use; do not imply a certification you have not earned.
Use the job posting's wording only where it accurately describes your experience. Avoid keyword stuffing.
