Job Match Snapshot

• Common missing signals: usability testing, design systems, stakeholder collaboration

• Best quick win: rewrite "designed screens" into user-problem and outcome language

• Top sections to improve: summary, project bullets, tools

Realistic example

Before: "Created wireframes and user flows."

After: "Designed user flows and prototypes to improve task clarity, supported usability testing, and collaborated with product and engineering to refine the experience."

Common mistakes

• relying on tools instead of explaining thinking

• leaving research work invisible

• generic project bullets

• using the same resume for product design, UX research, and visual design jobs

FAQ

Should I include design systems?: Yes, if that work is relevant.
What if my strongest experience is freelance?: That is fine if the work is framed clearly and credibly.
