I focus more on program skills or a skill that is a plus to the job. Think of skills your title isn’t usually known for. Do you know a bit of HTML or CSS? Can you edit in Premier? Are you able to illustrate?

In college they asked us (or my class at least) to put skills such as: branding, ideating, layout, etc. However, I feel like these are a bit repetitive. Does someone really need to be told a Designer can design print ads, business cards, and billboards?

That’s exactly how I feel!

I personally list all the specific programs (ex. AfterEffects, Photoshop, etc.) and the general areas of design I specialize in (ex. Digital, Social, Production, Identity, Illustration, etc.)

I’ve got all my programs and also design skills like illustration etc. In addition to technical skills I include something fun, like “witty banter” and “standard driver”

Recruiter from Amazon reached out and wants me to interview for a position which is not quite matching my background. While I never got the opportunity to interview for the position I applied online.
