Christopher Nguyen, a UX designer coach, highlights common resume mistakes that can make job searching more challenging. After reviewing more than 726 resumes, he found that 89% of UX designers make three key errors: including too much detail, using excessive fluff, and relying on too many graphics. According to him, these factors can make resumes less effective and harder for employers to assess quickly.

To help designers improve their resumes, Nguyen provides a guide focused on making content clearer, emphasizing relevant experience, and aligning the design with employer expectations. He also shares a free Figma resume template, offering a structured way for UX professionals to refine their applications.
