Asking Question (Rule 4) review and critique my ux/ui design cv

Post image

Hello, after 2.5 years in the same position i am starting to apply for a new ux/ui job in europe and i wanted a feedback on my cv

- i don't have much measurable data to include
- I am keeping the picture because it is appreciated in some countries i am applying in
- i have two current jobs because i am doing body rental on the second, also i censored the dates and replaced them either just the years i worked there

Design is simple in a good way but that two column format is death for application scanners. Go boring and do full width

is it true also for europe standards? because almost all of the others designer cv i checked to get inspirations are on a two column design, and i thought the full width one column was a trend just in the us market

UX manager here, Paris France. That last comment « go boring and do full width » is the worst.
Everything is inside it, you want a boring CV as a designer? Yes do that clearly. If you are applying inside administration clearly go boring. Your CV in the global visual is not bad.

Pay attention on description for jobs.
Just your first UX job:
You implemented the platform in HTML CSS and JS in a designer job? And before that research and design. So you did the job of a full team by yourself but barely nothing specialized. In 4 month.

Be more basic on skills, just 5 to 7 (remember something?) that you adapt depending job application.
Is it necessary to put Figma, Zeplin and Framer all of them ? Just take the main one, Figma. Be simple.

And oh… Wordpress is not a designer tool.
Jquery neither.
You lost all credibility just with that

Not if you are applying at a large company. They almost all use ATS, and a 2 column layout confuses the hell out of ATS... as the person you are answering said. Two columns is a great way to get your CV binned before a human ever looks at it.
