- 01 / 05Link before description.The portfolio argues better than the summary.
- 02 / 05Named work.Client, brief, your role — searchable and checkable.
- 03 / 05Tools and craft named.Software by name plus the process slice you own.
- 04 / 05Layout restrained.Enough taste to show, not enough to break parsing.
- 05 / 05Production competence.Files delivered, specs met — the half that books repeat work.
What does not
- 01 / 05Design that breaks parsers.Columns and graphics fail machine screens first.
- 02 / 05"Creative" as a noun and claim.The work says it or nothing does.
- 03 / 05Unattributed team pieces.Your role, named.
- 04 / 05Dead links.One ends the look.
- 05 / 05Style over legibility.A resume that is hard to read is a sample of hard-to-read work.
FAQ
Questions about this interior design resume template Word example
Short answers to what people ask before they send this resume.
Use this exampleDo I need a resume if I have a portfolio?
Yes. The portfolio proves the work; the resume answers who you worked for, in what role, for how long — questions a portfolio cannot answer.
How much design can I put in the resume itself?
Enough to show taste, not enough to break parsing. Columns, text boxes and images are where automated screening fails.
Should I list clients by name?
If the work is public and you are not bound otherwise. Named clients carry more weight than adjectives about the work.
