Resume Tips:

 
   Making Your Resume Work For You

•   Identify a handful of core competencies and highlight them.
•   Use bullets to organize accomplishments and past employment, being consistent in formatting,      font style and size choices throughout.
•   Describe major projects, duties and tasks using fresh, accurate verbs. And, narrow your focus      to those skills and responsibilities you’ve cultivated which are especially relevant to the job you      are currently applying for.
•   Don’t be afraid to edit! It can be tempting to showcase your every greatness but this is your      ticket in the door and employers are most interested in what you can do for them.
•   Do not allow your resume to exceed three pages (and that doesn’t mean put it in size 8 fonts).
•   You’re not writing an essay, but do be as specific as possible when describing past work. It      shows competency, understanding and involvement.
•   UX job seekers should always mention core deliverables, such as creating wireframes, site      maps, concept sketches, process flows, navigation flows, personas, design documentation and      various user experience research methods and usability studies (if conducted).
•   Bring out the domain expertise on your resume, such as expertise on social media platform, e-      commerce, financial, mobile or any others, that would be specific and relevant to the company      you are approaching.
•   Showcase what your skills have produced. Any work you’ve done which can quantifiably      demonstrate growth to a company, improved production, or success of a project is just what      future employers are interested in.

 
 
   So, get your outputs (if measurable/ measured) number in there!
 

•   List various methods of user research and usability studies you have executed, if any.

 
 
   Instead of simply writing, “Conducted User Experience Research,” rather, list    the exact techniques to show your knowledge and interest.
 

•   Use the names of tools you are familiar with, as some employers will scan resumes for key      words.

 
 
   For example, if you are replying to a job seeking an Information Architect and    the tool they are using is “Axure,” you will have a much better chance of    hearing back if you have also mentioned a competency with Axure, rather than    just “comfortable using drawing software.”
 

•   The most honest thing we can say is that your resume is not usually the place to be too      creative.

 
 
   You want to use a document that is clean, edited, easy to read, precise, and    consistent. This is your ticket in the door— after that, you can wow them with    all the little things that make you a unique and exemplary employee that    anyone would be lucky to hire.
