 I have rejected 900 plus design resumes before interview, because they all made these four deadly application mistakes. Number one, your resume is not your portfolio. The most common mistake designers make include the information that's supposed to be in your portfolio on your resume. Your resume should only highlight key achievements through specific work experience. Don't repeat the points over and over and over but do unrealistic data and projects. It's not a resume if you include one project in a design bootcamp. Throw in big data with no actual proof. Instead, tell a personal story of your design journey slash process. Showcase only projects you've worked on and provided value, but those were the four deadly mistakes.
