Each part of your job
application matters.
Resume opens the lock,
portfolio opens the doors,
interview allows you
to enter.
Here are some tips for your
resume.
Tip #1
Name your PDF file
strategically:
"FirstName_LastName_Prod
uctDesigner_2024.pdf".
This helps with ATS systems
and makes it easy for
recruiters to find your file
later.
Tip #2
Create two versions:
a clean ATS-friendly version
with simple formatting
and a visually designed
version for direct sharing.
Use the appropriate one
based on the application
method.
Tip #3
Include a custom "About"
section that mirrors the
specific company's design
principles or values.
Research their design blog
or public materials first.
Tip #4
Structure your experience
section with clear hierarchy:
Role → Company → Duration
→ Key Achievements (with
metrics) → Technologies/
Tools Used.
Tip #5
Keep the file size under 2MB
and test its text selectability.
Recruiters often need
to copy-paste information.
Tip #6
Add LinkedIn profile and
Notion/personal website
as clickable links, but include
the full URLs in text form too
for printed versions (it’s still a
thing).
Tip #7
Use industry-standard terms
that appear in job boards:
"product designer" instead
of "experience architect"
or creative alternatives.
Tip #8
Include a "Selected Projects"
section with 3 brief highlights
that each showcase different
skills (B2B, B2C, mobile, web).
Tip #9
Create subtle visual
hierarchy using a maximum
of two fonts.
One for headers and one for
body text.
Tip #10
Add your location status
or work authorization upfront
if applying internationally
to avoid wasting time
in the process.
Tip #11
Test your resume in different
PDF viewers.
Some formatting can break
between Preview and Adobe
Reader.
Tip #12
Use active language and
power verbs appropriate
for design:
"Crafted," "Implemented,"
"Streamlined"
instead of generic
"Made" or "Created".
Tip #13
Place your most impressive
metric-driven achievement
in the top third of the resume.
Many recruiters only scan
that far.
Tip #14
Export your PDF with
embedded fonts and test it
on both Mac and Windows
to ensure consistent
rendering.
Tip #15
Add a QR code linking to your
portfolio in the header.
It ensures easy access during
in-person interviews and
shows technical awareness.
