Why this example works
- The sign-up result shows a measured before and after, which is what hiring managers want to see.
- Interview counts and a one-page summary show research that reaches the team.
- The design system line shows work that scales beyond one screen.
- The path from junior to senior is short and clear.
How to write your own UX designer resume
- Give each project its problem, your method and a measured result.
- Link two or three case studies, and make the first screen of each readable at once.
- Show research habits: how many users, how often and how you shared what you learned.
- State your part in team work, such as design system, handoff and accessibility checks.
- Say which design software you rely on most, and what you produce with it.
- Describe the product and its size so a reader knows the setting.

Common questions
How many case studies are enough?
Two or three that match the job. Each should state the problem, your role, your method and a result.
What if the product team keeps the metrics?
Ask for the figures, or describe the measure you tracked, such as completion or task success, and state the period honestly.
Can I apply with a career change into UX?
Yes. Show a course, two projects with real users tested and any related work, such as research or design, with clear results.
