The above picture only shows the online resume content of a recruitment website. Of course, other recruitment websites require similar content. We can draw the conclusion that the basic contents of a complete resume should be as follows:
(1) Personal basic information: name, gender, date of birth (age), year of starting work (working years), contact number and email address.
(2) Educational experience: school, major, educational background and educational time.
(3) Work experience: working hours, company name, company nature, industry, department, position and job description (job content).
(4) Self-evaluation: advantages, abilities, etc.
Second, the resume content is all these, so how to make your resume brilliant? What does UI design focus on? Resume is mainly to let HR know your experience quickly through resume, so resume should not be verbose, and show yourself on a piece of A4 paper simply and accurately.
Share a few resumes, and let's synthesize the characteristics of a better resume.
Single page analysis:
(1) Personal basic information is fully displayed, and specialties, hobbies and job hunting intentions are selectively displayed.
(2) The work experience is concise and to the point, which is convenient for HR to quickly understand the work content.
(3) The project experiences are sorted in descending order of time, and the project responsibilities are displayed after the project introduction.
(4) Skills are clearly displayed and focused. Both resumes have presentation skills, and the first resume is simple and clear, with tool icons. The second resume shows the mastery of skills by weight, so as to better locate your expertise.
(5) Show your hobbies with small icons, so that HR can understand personal information more intuitively.
Generally speaking, a qualified resume should at least have neat layout, clear adjustment and complete content.
UI design needs a certain aesthetic, so we can also see the aesthetic of the candidate from the resume. Is the color scheme of resume uniform? Whether the format of resume conforms to the reading habits of most people, etc. These are all design skills that can reflect a mature UI.
The above only talks about the display of the page, so what are the precautions for the content of the UI design resume?
(1) design ability: there are specialties in the technical field, and UI designers have different skills. Even the UI links that are on fire in the market should have their own best direction. For example, he is good at web design, mobile design, illustration design and e-commerce design. , which can be reflected by project experience.
Although it is said that "mastering the tools can't reflect the ability of UI designers", a designer's design ideas and abilities can't be reflected from the resume page. Tools are also one of the skills that designers must require, so your resume should clearly and weightily show your proficiency in tools.
(2) Work experience: In fact, work experience doesn't have to be sorted in reverse order, but it can also be sorted according to your job participation and position weight.
(3) Project experience: If you have project experience, you can adjust the content of the project experience according to the nature and business direction of the interview company. For example, the post you want to post focuses on web design. You can put your experience in web design projects ahead and show your web design-related abilities.
(4) Other abilities: For UI design, comprehensive soft powers such as thinking ability, learning ability and communication ability are also very important, which can be simply described in your resume, or reflected through work experience, project experience and interview process.
In addition to resumes, UI designers need to improve their portfolios. Resume and portfolio complement each other, helping a UI designer get an interview and successfully find his favorite job.
