Formatting Tips & Common Mistakes
Do's (Best Practices)
- Your portfolio link is the most important part of your resume—make it highly visible at the top.
- Even though you are a designer, ensure your resume text is parsable by ATS (avoid placing text inside images).
- Highlight the tools you use (Figma, Miro, Principle) and your specific design methodologies.
Don'ts (Common Mistakes)
- Creating an overly complex, graphic-heavy resume that Applicant Tracking Systems cannot read.
- Focusing only on the visual UI and neglecting the UX research and testing processes.
- Forgetting to mention the metrics that prove your design improved the product.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I use a graphical skill bar rating?
No. Graphic skill bars (e.g., 4/5 stars for Figma) are confusing to ATS and don't give recruiters real context about your proficiency.
