What to rebuild after a layoff in Amsterdam

Recruiters scan for role fit, recent proof, and keywords. For UX Designer, your resume should show the tools you used, the user problem you solved, how you tested it, and the result. A vague design line does not help. A specific line with task success, conversion, research findings, accessibility fixes, or time saved works much better.

Check this before sending another application.

  • Transferable skills

  • Put the exact job title and adjacent titles in your summary.
  • Mirror the top skills from the job description naturally.
  • Use 3 to 5 achievement bullets that show measurable outcomes.
