Creative Portfolio Resume
If you're a designer, UX person, or creative pro, you know the frustration: make your resume too pretty and ATS systems choke on it, make it boring and you're not showcasing what you actually do. This skill guides you through the two-version strategy (clean ATS-compatible for job boards, fully designed for your portfolio and networking) and gives field-specific advice for graphic designers, UX designers, marketers, and writers. It covers the technical stuff like typography hierarchy, color accessibility, and safe creative touches for ATS versions, plus it helps you integrate your portfolio links strategically. The checklist approach is solid, and the honest breakdown of when to use which version saves you from guessing.
