Why resumes get filtered out
Common ATS issues for UI/UX Designers

- Research, prototyping, and product impact are not balanced well.
- Bullets focus on aesthetics without usability or conversion outcomes.
What recruiters and ATS look for
What makes a stronger ui/ux designer resume
- Clear design process signals such as research, wireframes, prototyping, testing, and handoff.
- Tool alignment like Figma, design systems, usability testing, or interaction design when relevant.
- Evidence of user impact, product impact, or business results.
- Readable structure that keeps design work legible to both ATS and humans.
Mistakes to avoid
Letting the resume become too portfolio-dependent and too vague on results.
Writing only about visuals instead of user and business outcomes.
Listing tools without project context.
Not making design process terms explicit enough for ATS screening.
