Recruiter tips for Graphic Designer CVs

Portfolio link must be above the fold on your CV, a dead or missing link is an instant rejection.
Show range AND focus: demonstrate versatility but make clear where your specialism lies (brand, editorial, digital, motion).
Name your tools explicitly: Adobe CC (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, After Effects), Figma, Cinema 4D. Tools are screened.
For senior roles, include brand strategy and client management experience. Design directors want to see commercial thinking.

Common CV mistakes for Graphic Designers

✗Portfolio not curated to the role you're applying for, send your best 5 pieces, not 30 average ones
✗No mention of the brief or problem behind the design work
✗Omitting print vs digital experience when both are relevant
