3. Skills (Technical and Soft)

 Skillsets are vital when it comes to working in user experience and user interface

design. What have you done to distinguish yourself from the crowd? What tools or

applications do you apply to impress prospective employers? These abilities might be

highlighted in your CV. Software knowledge, programming language competence,

and the ability to solve issues creatively are all examples of skills.

 Divide the skill set into technical and soft skills. This will help you emphasize and

identify each talent, which will be especially useful if the organization uses an ATS

scanner. Mobile application development, Agile development approaches, Web

application development, User Interface (UI) design, AngularJS design, RESTful API

development, CSS, and other technical abilities are examples. Examples of Soft skills

include training and development, decision-making, multitasking ability, etc.

 4. Tools

 You don’t need to use a logo for every tool, I believe that the company already knows

what it is. Use this space to highlight more of the tools you use and you might wanna

use a scale on how much you know these tools (Please, do not use star scale). Instead

use beginner/novice, average/intermediate, skilled/advanced, advanced beginner,

competent, proficient, professional/specialist, and expert/master/

5. Project Experiences

 Remove the "Objective" part from your resume. Instead, emphasize a few significant

project issues and solutions that you devised. Did you design a user interface that

increased conversion rates for an e-commerce customer? Or did you assist a customer

in lowering their bounce rate with a redesign? Describe how you accomplished it.

Outline the issue and its remedy.

Note:

 When embarking on the task of creating a resume, it is crucial to approach it with the

same level of attention to detail and consideration as one would with a user interface

or user experience design project. It is essential to keep in mind the individual who

will be reviewing your curriculum vitae and tailor the design accordingly. One of the

most important steps is to carefully examine the job posting and identify precisely

what the employer is seeking in a candidate. This will enable you to determine

whether you are a suitable match for the role. If your skill set aligns with the

employer's requirements, it is vital to utilize the same descriptive language in your

resume. This will demonstrate to the employer that you have a firm understanding of

their needs and possess the qualities they seek in an ideal candidate. It may also be

necessary to make modifications to your resume for each job application, ensuring
 that it is tailored to the specific role you are applying for. If you are pursuing a UX

position, it is advisable to avoid over-designing your resume. While your occupation

may involve creativity and visual stimulation, your resume should be straightforward

and concise. Remember to save the creative displays for your portfolio. If you require

an example of this type of resume, kindly request a reference from Asya or visit the

UI/UX Design Case Study website. By following these guidelines, you can create a

resume that accurately represents your skills and experience while also demonstrating

your understanding of the employer's needs.

 Your design may not have a lot of graphics or interactive features, but the text-based

approach can be very effective. In order to maximize its potential, it's important to

organize your information in a logical manner. This means putting the most important

content at the top and the least significant information towards the bottom. It's always

a good idea to start any document with your name and contact details. From there,

you can move on to an introduction, if necessary, although this is usually covered in

your cover letter. After that, highlight your job experience and relevant skills. Be sure

to showcase your expertise in essential software, and don't forget to include any

relevant certifications you may have. This will all help to make your resume stand out

and increase your chances of landing the job you want.

 Consider the following design elements:

a) Typefaces: Limit yourself to two fonts or less. Make sure each is legible and has a

medium stroke weight. Avoid using handwritten or unusual fonts. Simple serifs or

sans serifs are frequently preferred.

b) Whitespace: Leave lots of space between pieces and increase the amount of room

between sections to create a natural flow from part to section, with more white space

between dissimilar elements.

c) Color: Use black writing on a white background. This makes printing - especially

black and white printing - simple for anyone is going to look at your CV. It's fine to

incorporate a color element or accent, but don't overdo it. Use a color that is simple to

prepare and will print even if the resume is printed on normal copy paper without

color.

d) Readability: Line length, phrase breaks, content and contrast all have an influence on

how simple it is for readers to scan the design and pick out crucial aspects.
 PORTFOLIO INPUT

1. Design

 Portfolio is supposed to be your space to introduce who you are, what’s your taste,

and your capacity as a designer. Besides the ratio, if you are that basic type of

designer it’s already going well. But, I would kindly suggest brainstorming more

about your design in this portfolio. A UI/UX portfolio should demonstrate your

knowledge, comprehension, and enthusiasm for UI/UX. A portfolio might include

case studies, design, personal projects, and samples of your methodology, and it

should be aesthetically appealing.

2. Introduction Page

 One of the first elements of your UX portfolio should be an introduction to you as a

designer. Employers and potential clients want to know who you are and what you

stand for, and they should be able to do so within seconds of visiting your portfolio

website.

 When an individual peruses your UX design portfolio, it is imperative that they can

discern your identity and professional expertise within a few moments. An attention-

grabbing headline that effectively summarizes your most pertinent information can

increase the viewer's engagement. Moreover, it is vitally important that there is a brief

yet impactful introduction on the home page, followed by a separate "About" section

that delves into further detail. In addition to an engaging "about me" paragraph, it is

advisable to incorporate some unique visual design elements that reflect your

individuality. By doing so, you can create an impressive and memorable UX design

portfolio that showcases your skills and expertise.

3. Work Case Display

 When presenting your UX design work, it is of utmost importance to emphasize your

process. This means taking your audience through each step of your case study and

elaborating on the essential procedures that led you to your final solution. While it is

acceptable to showcase screenshots of the final product, it is vital to document your

approach thoroughly. In doing so, make sure to highlight your process, not just the

end product. In your write-up, describe the methodologies you utilized, share the

insights you gained along the way, discuss the challenges you encountered, and

elucidate how you overcame certain obstacles. Each case study should tell a complete

and coherent story, one that showcases your design process from inception to

completion.

 When you're compiling your UX portfolio, it's essential to make sure that you're not

only telling your story but also showing it. To do this, incorporate significant visuals,

such as physical items from your projects, rather than simply using pictures. By doing

this, you can provide tangible evidence of your work and demonstrate your design

process step by step. It's important to document every stage of your design process,

from user research surveys to brainstorming sessions where ideas are captured on

sticky notes and wireframes as they progress from low to high quality. These visual

artifacts are crucial in conveying a coherent narrative when adding a new case study

to your portfolio. So, don't just explain the story behind each project, bring it to life by

including a snapshot or screenshot of each phase in action. By doing this, you can

make sure that your portfolio is a true reflection of your design skills and expertise.

 Because UX designers are issue solvers, make sure your portfolio shows this. Olivia's

portfolio teaches us two important lessons: first, begin each case study by detailing
 the problem and second, frame the situation in a way that expresses empathy. Above

all, consider the wording you use. Don't just mention the problem; relate to it and

emote over it! Olivia described dating as a "headache" since "coming up with ideas

was not the easiest thing to do in our busy lives." This is far more personal and

empathic than saying, "Users struggle to come up with date ideas because they're so

busy." Last but not least, return to the original problem throughout—even after you've

moved on to the answer. Your UX design portfolio should illustrate your problem-

solving technique. Begin each case study by outlining the situation in depth and

expressing empathy with expressive language. Keep returning to the problem

throughout.

 According to Asya, you are a new UX designer who wants to enhance your portfolio.

My recommendation is to try unsolicited redesigns. This is an excellent way to

demonstrate your initiative and prove that you're a proactive designer who goes above

and beyond. Unsolicited redesign projects are great for expanding your UX portfolio

and showcasing your design skills. To tackle any challenge, create a framework,

document your process, and tell a compelling story. Also, remember to include a

disclaimer.

 As a UX designer, it's important to keep in mind that your work should align with the

company's objectives. Although your primary focus is on enhancing the user

experience, the ultimate goal is always to drive business success. To prove the value

of your UX work, it's crucial to show how it contributes to the company's objectives.

One way to achieve this is to present concrete data that supports your project. If you

don't have access to data, you can still present your work in a business context. To do

this, you need to set clear business or product objectives for your case study. What do

you aim to achieve with your work? This goal should be separate from the user's goal,
 but the two should complement each other. Before starting the project, it's also

important to establish a few success metrics to measure the impact of your work.

These metrics will serve as indicators of success and help you track progress after

launching or relaunching the product. By doing so, you can demonstrate the impact of

your UX work on the company's bottom line. As a UX designer, you need to advocate

for the user while also meeting the needs of the company. Therefore, it's essential to

strike a balance when presenting your portfolio. By demonstrating how your work

benefits both the user and the company, you can establish yourself as a valuable asset

to the team. Use your portfolio to show how you add value to the business. Set

business goals and success metrics for each case study and, where possible, include

data and tangible outcomes.

 Don't get too caught up in whether you should include three or five projects; instead,

choose a few projects that best represent who you are as a designer. If you want to

establish yourself as a versatile, adaptive designer, showcase a wide range of work. If

you consider yourself a specialist in a certain field, emphasize the efforts that indicate

this. At the same time, don't overwhelm the viewer: a hiring manager reviewing your

portfolio is unlikely to go through 10 UX case studies, so pick wisely!

 There is no hard and fast rule on how many projects you should include in your

portfolio. Choose a variation that allows you to show off your abilities while being

modest enough not to overwhelm the user. If you have a lot more work to show off,

create a new section.

 To effectively present each case study, it is important to provide ample background

information. This includes setting the stage by describing the people, events, and

circumstances that lead up to the specific design issue, rather than diving straight into
 the problem statement. It is recommended to dedicate a brief paragraph to "setting the

scene" before introducing the problem. Additionally, it is important to explain your

role in each project and how you contributed to the team's efforts. Acknowledging the

contributions of your coworkers is also a nice touch, as UX design is a collaborative

field where individual efforts contribute to the team's overall success.

 Provide as much background as possible for each case study in your UX portfolio.

Before diving into your issue statement, set the stage with a little narrative. This

includes describing your involvement in the project and, if applicable, whom you

collaborated with.

 Your UX design portfolio is more than simply a website; it is an extension of your

brand. The general look of your portfolio, like your case studies, should tell a story

about who you are as a designer. Spend some time developing your personal brand.

Are you outgoing and eccentric? Artistic and edgy? Corporate and solemn? Maybe

you're all about environmentally responsible design. Once you've decided on a

subject, you may consider the colors and pictures that will assist to portray it. You

can't ignore the visual design of your portfolio just because you're a UX designer.

Your portfolio should represent your personal brand, so treat it like you would any

other UX project and give it the attention it deserves! The aesthetic style of your

portfolio website should represent your unique brand. The finest portfolios provide

the complete package—detailed case studies wrapped in gorgeous UI design and

perfect UX—so make sure you check all the boxes!
