3 mistakes graphic designer resumes make

  1. Designing the resume like a poster

    Sidebars, icons and skill bars look nice, but the ATS reads text only and may lose half of it. Keep the resume plain and one-column, and let your portfolio carry the visuals.

  2. No portfolio link

    Without a Behance, Drive or website link, a recruiter can't judge you at all. Put it right under your name, and check that it opens without a login.

  3. Tools, but no brands or results

    “Photoshop, Illustrator” is a list. “Designed 40+ monthly creatives for a 2 lakh follower fashion brand” is evidence. Name the brands, the volumes and any lift in engagement.
