Core Skills
Recruiter tips for UX Designer CVs
- UX CVs need a portfolio link above the fold. Without it, you won't get through most ATS filters at top companies.
- Show your process, not just output: research, synthesis, ideation, prototyping, testing, iteration.
- Tie design work to business outcomes wherever possible. 'Improved NPS by 12 points' is more powerful than 'redesigned the dashboard'.
- Mention accessibility (WCAG), design system knowledge, and collaboration with engineers, these are increasingly standard requirements.
Common CV mistakes for UX Designers
- ✗Only showing final, polished designs, interviewers want to see how you think, including early sketches and iterations
- ✗Not mentioning the research behind design decisions
- ✗Omitting tools: Figma, Miro, Maze, Hotjar, name them explicitly
