UX Designer resume example
UX roles vary enormously between companies. The resume should make clear whether you are a researcher, an interaction designer, or both.
What we would lead with
- Research that changed direction, not research that confirmed it
- Evidence of measuring, before and after
- How you work with engineers: handoff quality is a real differentiator
The mistake we would warn you about
Being vague about which parts of UX you actually do. A hiring manager filling a research role will skip an ambiguous resume.
Bullet points that work for ux designers
Each one opens with an action verb, says what was done, and ends with a result.
- Shadowed 18 clinicians and found the real bottleneck was handover, not charting, redirecting a year of roadmap.
- Cut medication-entry errors 34% in testing by restructuring one form and its confirmation step.
- Built the research repository that ended three teams repeating the same interviews.
- Ran accessibility audits that took the product from 60 to 4 outstanding WCAG AA issues.
