10 Skills Every Designer Needs on Their Resume
- While having a stellar portfolio is a great way to start that conversation, your resume is equally important.
- Your resume should highlight skills that aren't as apparent from looking at a few marquee pieces.
- Problem-solving ability is an essential skillset every designer should showcase on their resume.
- Marketing knowledge and background are needed to both sell design projects and yourself to potential clients or employers.
- Print knowledge is just as important as digital knowledge; include printed projects in your portfolio and familiarize yourself with formats, colors, and moving projects from digital to print and back.
- Basic HTML skills, software fluency, social media and networking, flexibility and time management, understanding of typography, and communication skills are all vital skills that should be highlighted on a designer's resume.
- Team members who communicate well are more likely to work on projects effectively and share and sell ideas.
- Your resume should contain enough information about your abilities to make you stand out.
- Remember to keep your resume current and consider posting a version online to complement your portfolio.
- Including relevant information about your abilities can help you stand out from others, ensuring that you control the message on your resume to showcase your abilities.
