Common UX Designer resume mistakes

  • Linking to a portfolio without describing any project in the resume itself. Recruiters skim the resume first.

  • Listing tools (Figma, Sketch) as the headline instead of the design process and outcomes.

  • No mention of the research methods used to validate design decisions; reads as visual design only.

  • Missing measurable impact: task completion rate, time-on-task, conversion, accessibility compliance.
