I used CV360 to helps optimise my CV for humans and machines. CV360 carries out 58 checks inc. spelling, page count, file name, etc. with a recommended minimum benchmark of 85%.
The first draft got 83%. Taking a look at the feedback, a majority of the 10 issues flagged were not issue with the content, but rather the formatting of the document (see below).
These examples of some of the non-issues that I encountered with this version of my CV. As such, I am confident that the content writing my CV is up-to-par.
I was planning to make my portfolio via HTML & CSS, but decided to instead opt for a Notion Site for the sake familiarity, as well as being able to keep the same content formatting between my IxD Notion Blog and my Portfolio case studies.
I plan to use recent project work, as it well be the most accurate display of my design skill.
According to The Interaction Design Foundation, personal branding elevates your visibility and credibility in the design industry. It helps attract opportunities, such as job offers, freelance projects, and speaking engagements.
A CV and Portfolio must be easily read so the avenues of expression will be limited, but a distinct word and typeface will add that extra bit of character.
