A Product Designer is judged on outcomes, not just screens. This template helps you frame your work the way recruiters and hiring managers actually read it: real problems, your role, and the metrics that moved. Drop in your case studies, link your Figma, and ship the application.
Copy these as starting points and swap in your own numbers.
2024–2025 estimates. Wide ranges by experience and seniority.
Both, but in sequence. The CV opens the door and filters on experience and metrics; the portfolio decides whether you get the interview. Make sure your Figma or Behance link sits in a prominent spot at the top of your CV.
For mid and senior roles, process is exactly what gets you hired: how you framed the problem, what hypotheses you tested, why this solution. Final screens with no context read like Dribbble shots, not product work.
Yes, just strip the sensitive parts. Describe the role, product type, and metrics as percentages, and skip client names or screenshots. Recruiters are used to this framing and read it without issue.
Lean your bullets toward product outcomes, research, and PM collaboration rather than pure visual work. If that experience is thin, add a pet project with a clear hypothesis, test, and learnings, it usually bridges the gap.
