The UX Design Resume That Got Me a Job at Google (free template download) How To Write a UX Resume

In this video, I will be sharing my UX design resume that got me a job at Google with a free template download. Join me in recounting my initial failure when applying to my dream job at Google, and explaining how I turned things around. We will review the first resume I submitted that did not secure the job, analyze the mistakes I made, and discuss how I revamped it for a reapplication the following year.

I hope this video helps you gain insights into what distinguishes a strong resume from a weaker one when applying for junior and entry-level positions. The tips presented in this video can be applied to various job applications since most of them are universally applicable. I hope you all enjoy it!

This is a gem. Thank you for sharing your experience and using your own resume for us fellow weeboos trying to transition to UX. 🙏🏼

So helpful, never thought of dividing the skillset into sections. Such great tips! Appreciate for sharing, Ricardo.

I keep my faith in this guy a lot. Like I literally try do stuff the way he’s explaining

[danipena]

Could you make a video on the possibilities for UX specializations? You mentioned AI, AR, and block chain tech and I just wanted to know more. I love the integration of psychology in interaction design and research and I myself went to school for philosophy so anything that also contemplates the ethics of ai and design in tech would be fascinating as well

[twicelands]

This is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

I will soon be uploading lots of goodies to my BuyMeaCoffee page so stay tuned!

[zahabia]

Thank you for being so helpful and giving such valuable advice! You're doing so great :)

[nnothing]

Wow you got the video out in just a week, thanks so much! I was scared that a double column wouldn't be read correctly but you showed otherwise. Just wondering, did you use InDesign to make your resume or something else?

Super helpful as always thanks Ricardo!

[ValeriaC.]

Great video, thanks for sharing :) I just subscribed to your channel. You are a very good storyteller! Keep it up :D

[aasiaasiaa]

Such a helpful and legible resume review!

[ppxqbpv]

which software did you use when creating the resume, please? google doc, or Microsoft, or adobe, thank you

[gesualmonte]

They say resume is French for procrastination 🥹🎉

[jahritalin]

Omg you are great! I feel like I want to be your friend now hahah if you ever come to Gettysburg let me know! Haha

[fozzibab]

I mean, in fairness, the resume didn't get you the job. Your portfolio did the legwork. That's how creative roles get filled. You can have the most attractive resume in the world but if your portfolio is shit, they won't even consider you. With that in mind, where exactly can I find the template? I'd like to play with it a bit, but I don't see it listed in the description of the video.

Thanks for sharing your resume journey! It's super helpful for me to improve mine! I've always been confused about the format... some say formal works better, some root for creative, and some say better to have both... Can you also share your tips on font sizes for body text? What's the smallest size you recommend? Does that matter for a digital resume? I'm wondering if there's a way to put all the text up there without feeling too crowded or too hard to read🤔

Btw, your thesis - "How can we design better work spaces for introverts and extroverts?" sounds so cool haha😆

This is really helpful, thank you! Your structure places various sections on the skills tab and their relations in a paragraph. Do you believe this is superior to merely listing skills in bullets? Bullet points are commonly used, and I wonder if this might impact ATS scan results.

[Brightmoonindasky]

I was going through my resume for the hundredth time when I stumbled upon your video as if by magic! Thanks a lot Ricardo!! You're the best 🌟 Did you use Google Doc? Also, what are your thoughts about a resume of 2 pages ?

[blognroses]

Hi lovely! What is the font size you used? And are there any suggestions where to find a 2 column cv format or where to build one?
