Resume Workshop for UX & Product People: Stand Out & Get Interviews

Sarah Doody

22 years in UX, Founder, & Author

Write & design your resume so you stop getting ghosted.

UX recruiters and hiring managers don't read resumes. They skim and decide in seconds whether you're worth an interview. Is that fair? No. Is it changing anytime soon? Also no.

(Note: If you don't work in UX or Product you can still join! These strategies work for any industry.)

So if you've been applying and hearing nothing back, that's a red-flag your resume isn't selling your value in seconds.

For example: a bullet that says "conducted user interviews" tells them nothing. It doesn't say what the research was for, how you did it, or what changed because of it.

Sure, you can use resume tips from Google and AI. But haven't you been doing that already?

In this 2-hour live workshop you'll rewrite & design your resume so a 6-second skim tells UX recruiters exactly what you do and why they should talk to you.

We'll cover how to structure bullets around results vs responsibilities, communicating your value, and translating what you did so it stands out to recruiters and the ATS.

After the workshop you'll have 2 weeks of access to:

  • My resume tutorials, templates, & resume writing AI tool

  • A private community for peer feedback

  • Resume critiques for an additional fee

Why you need 2 versions of your resume

There are two "users" of your resume. First, recruiters and hiring managers. Second, the software they use, aka the ATS.

How to format your resume for the software recruiters use

The ATS (Applicant Tracking System) can only understand your resume if it's formatted in a very specific way.

3 mistakes to avoid to help your resume stand out

If you want a human to see your resume, ensure the ATS can actually read your resume by not making these 3 mistakes.
