UX Designer keywords for resume and LinkedIn
UX searches select for process evidence. Recruiters query figma as a baseline, then user research, usability testing, or design systems to find the specialty they lack. Method keywords prove you do the work: journey mapping, information architecture, accessibility. Because titles drift between ux, product, and interaction design, carrying all three terms multiplies your reach. Research-heavy keywords find research-mature teams, which is usually where designers want to be.
