The most valuable asset for graphic designers, art directors, photographers, and other creative professionals is their ability to turn concepts into stunning visual presentations. When meeting with hiring managers or clients, showcasing your ideas professionally is key. Your resume is often the first piece of work a potential employer sees. A well-designed resume can immediately demonstrate your design skills. However, the reality of applicant tracking systems (ATS) complicates things. These systems often can't process complex layouts, graphics, or text boxes, which can push your application to the bottom of the list. So, how can you increase your chances of landing an interview? • 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐓𝐒-𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞: Use a simple, single-column format in Microsoft Word. Avoid graphics and tables to ensure the ATS can easily parse your data. • 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐚 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐲: Use your visually appealing resume for in-person interviews or when you can attach it alongside your ATS-friendly resume. • 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐚 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐲: Showcase your best work in a digital portfolio. Include the link in your resume header and on LinkedIn. • 𝐆𝐨 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: After applying, connect with the decision-maker on LinkedIn. Send a brief note to highlight your application and share your portfolio. #CreativeCareers #DesignJobs #GraphicDesign #PortfolioTips #JobSearch #ResumeTips #ATS #CareerAdvice #MarketingCareers #JobHunt

Why Portfolios for Designers, But Resumes for Others? It's true! Designers often need portfolios while other roles stick to resumes. But why the different approaches? Let's dive in: Design is Visual: A designer's skills are best showcased through tangible work. A portfolio allows them to visually demonstrate their design thinking, process, and execution. A resume, with its text-based format, can't do justice to the creative output. Results Matter: Design is judged on outcomes. Portfolios present finished projects, user flows, and case studies, allowing hiring managers to evaluate the final product and its impact. Resumes focus on past job descriptions and skills, leaving the impact to imagination. Uniqueness Speaks: Every designer has their own style and approach. A portfolio allows them to curate work that reflects their individuality, differentiating themselves from other applicants. Resumes tend to be more standardized, making it harder to stand out. However, the line isn't always clear-cut: Creative roles like photographers or writers: May benefit from showcasing samples in their portfolio alongside a resume. Data-driven roles: Might present data visualizations or project reports as portfolio pieces. Ultimately, the goal is to effectively communicate your skills and experience. If your work can be demonstrably showcased, consider a portfolio! **What are your thoughts? Should other roles consider using portfolios too? ** #designers #portfolios #resumes #creativity #skills #careers #hiring

Global Design Director, Jo Malone London ⋅ Career Coach & Mentor for Designers ⋅ 20 yrs experience in Design, E-commerce, Luxury.
When reviewing designers for a role, a clear CV (without infographics), and a concise portfolio of your best, and most relevant design work is ideal. When interviewing designers for a role, I like to be taken through original artwork files, to see the 'workings'. Too often i've hired primarily based on a portfolio. What a plonker.

Unless you're a graphic designer, don't graphically design it. Your resume CONTENT is important not the design!! Agree? Resumes are more about selling your strengths and capabilities, less about appearances. We’re often trained to associate something “good looking” with value, but the true quality comes from what you relay about yourself. Thoughts??

OK, It's time I opened some Portfolio/CV/LinkedIn Review slots. I don't give this link out much and I'm only going to open up 5 slots. FILLED: I know a lot of people are looking for direct input on their Folio and Resume (and your LinkedIn really needs to be up there too). On top of my feedback about your work, I'll share with you what I know is happening in the hiring space and how to shift your lens to work with the market and continually improve your chances of reaching your goals. There it is. I'll edit this post once the slots are filled ***All Slots filled, that was a quick 25 mins! I hope to find some more time and space to offer my time to more designers...stay tuned for next time***

Founder & CEO at The Sketch Effect 🖍 | Author of "The Conquering Creative" 📘 | Keynote Speaker 🎤 | Workshop Leader ✏️
"How do you find and hire your people?" This is one of the most common questions I get asked. Recruiting talent is already one of the toughest jobs for an business owner. ...but recruiting Graphic Recorders?? That's a whole 'nother thing. First, we look for the basics --> confident drawing skills✏️, ability to think and synthesize ideas🧠, ability and willingness to travel to cool places for gigs✈️. Then, we look for the extra magic --> great people skills😁, a squishy cultural connection❤️, embedded values of integrity & positivity🙌. And where we find them? Well...lots of places. 📍 We have successful Graphic Recorders who come out of the comics world, the UX world, the industrial engineering world. 📍 We have some with backgrounds in street art, fine art, or no art at all. 📍 We have storyboarders and surf(boarders) 📍 In fact, one of our Graphic Recorders, the amazing Kent Carollo, even had brief stint in Biology. And the list goes on and on. I wish there was one well to draw from when recruitng Graphic Recorders...but there isn't. And that, I think, is what makes this work so darn special. ✨ --- (PS - If you or someone you know is ever interested in learning more about being a Graphic Recorder at the Sketch Effect, shoot me a note!)
