Tips for writing a graphic designer CV
- Your portfolio link (Behance or your site) matters more than anything else; put it at the top next to your email.
- Keep the CV itself clean; heavy design can break ATS parsing.
- Name your tools and avoid skill bars or stars, which ATS cannot read.
- Show results when you know them: engagement, sales, turnaround time.
- Mention project types: branding, packaging, social media, UI.
