Questions

Which keywords should an Illustrator resume include?

Pull them from the specific job description first. Across most Illustrator postings the recurring terms are Digital illustration, Character design, Storyboarding, Colour theory, Vector art, Style consistency, plus tools such as Procreate, Illustrator, Photoshop. ResumeScanner extracts the exact set from the JD you paste rather than relying on a generic list.

What match score is good for Illustrator 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 Character design or Procreate experience — not just a wording problem. We show the reasoning behind the score so you can tell the two apart.

How do I quantify Illustrator experience?

Tie each bullet to one of illustrations delivered per month, revision cycles, style guide adherence. 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 Illustrator application?

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