Job Match Snapshot

• Common missing signals: brand consistency, campaign support, production speed, asset ownership

• Best quick win: replace generic "designed materials" bullets with project context

• Top sections to fix first: summary, recent work, tools

Realistic example

Before: "Designed marketing materials for the company."

After: "Created digital and print marketing assets aligned with brand guidelines and supported campaign execution across multiple channels."

Common mistakes

• depending on Adobe tool names instead of describing work

• too much visual identity language for production-heavy jobs

• too broad a summary

• not matching in-house vs agency expectations

FAQ

Does the portfolio matter more than the resume?: The portfolio matters a lot, but the resume still shapes whether you feel like a fit.
Should I tailor the resume if my portfolio already shows everything?: Yes. Recruiters often scan the resume first.
What design tools should I list?: Only the ones relevant to the role and supported by your experience.
Should I include campaign results?: Yes, where possible. That makes creative work feel more connected to business outcomes.
