Tips for design resumes
- Put your portfolio link first; recruiters look at it before the resume.
- Name your tools (Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva) and the kinds of work: brand, social, packaging, UI.
- Describe a project's goal and result, not only what you made.
- Before you apply, paste the job advert into Dossier4u's ATS check: it lists the skills, years and qualifications the advert asks for that your resume does not show yet.
