Questions

Which keywords should a Graphic Designer resume include?

Pull them from the specific job description first. Across most Graphic Designer postings the recurring terms are Layout design, Brand identity, Typography, Print production, Photo editing, Social media creatives, plus tools such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign. ResumeScanner extracts the exact set from the JD you paste rather than relying on a generic list.

What match score is good for Graphic Designer roles?

Anything above 75% usually means your resume covers the required skills and the seniority band. Below 60% there is normally a real gap — missing Brand identity or Adobe Photoshop experience — not just a wording problem. We show the reasoning behind the score so you can tell the two apart.

How do I quantify Graphic Designer experience?

Tie each bullet to one of creatives delivered per sprint, revision cycles per asset, engagement on creatives. Even approximate figures beat none: reviewers read them as evidence you tracked outcomes.

Do B.Des certifications matter for this role?

They rarely replace experience, but they break ties. When B.Des appears in a JD's preferred list, our checker flags it as a missing keyword if your resume does not mention it.

Should I use a different resume for each Graphic Designer application?

Not a different resume — a re-aligned one. Titles vary (Visual Communication Designer, Creative Designer) and so do required tools. Re-running the check per JD takes seconds and normally surfaces two or three swaps worth making.
