First impressions: How to design your resume and craft a killer portfolio that will get you that interview

It may seem obvious, but the design of your resume and portfolio convey far more about your user experience skills and design aesthetic than you know. And you’d be surprised at what you’re saying to employers that you don’t intend to. In this talk, we’ll give you actionable steps you can take immediately to dramatically improve the design of your resume and your portfolio as well as tips on how to present it once you get the interview.

As hiring managers, we’ve seen hundreds of UX resumes and thousands of work samples. And to be honest, we are giving this talk as much for ourselves as for you. We want you to know what we’re looking for. We want you to succeed.

In this talk we’ll cover three areas:

  • The design and content for your resume
  • The design and content for your portfolio
  • Presentation tips once you get the interview
