UX Designer Resume Example

UX designer resumes are judged as portfolio previews. Every bullet should telegraph a research signal, a design decision, and a shipped outcome.

What recruiters look for

Anchor bullets in research → decision → outcome
Show tools, but let the case-study bullets do the heavy lifting
Always include a portfolio link — it's the first thing recruiters click
Use the accent color to nod at visual craft

Frequently asked questions

Portfolio link required?

Absolutely. A UX resume without a portfolio link is filtered out in seconds.

Should I include Figma files directly?

Link to a portfolio site or a Notion page — never dump raw Figma links.
