Does a UX Apply Kit replace my portfolio?

No. The kit finishes the application: tailored resume, ATS check, cover, Applied, outcome. Link the portfolio when the posting asks. Do not hide all impact inside case-study PDFs the parser never reads.

Should I use UX Designer or Product Designer on the resume?

Use the title the posting uses when it matches work you did. Switching every application to “Product Designer” for a UX-research-heavy JD can miss the filter. Apply Kit is how you make that swap per job.

What should I put on the resume vs the case study?

Resume: tools, methods, and quantified outcomes from that JD. Case study: process, artifacts, and the story you will walk through. If the resume is only “designed screens,” the ATS and the recruiter both bounce.

Is there a free UX Apply Kit?

Yes. One full kit with no card. Use it on a real design posting, not a fictional company you will never apply to.

Apply Kit for UX Designer

Apply Kit for UX designers — portfolio story meets ATS reality

Turn each design role into a tracked job with a tailored resume, cover letter, and post-apply checklist.

UX postings still go through an ATS. A beautiful portfolio does not help if the resume never says Figma, usability testing, or the product type in the requisition. Put impact on the resume — task time, conversion, adoption — and keep case studies for the screen.

Title language matters. UX Designer, Product Designer, and UI Designer are not interchangeable to a parser. Match the posting when the work is truthful. B2B SaaS vs consumer vs design-system roles want different proof.

Finish Apply Kit on the live JD: tailor the resume, ATS check, cover that names the product problem, mark Applied, and log whether you get a portfolio review. That history beats another Dribbble-first template.

Bring your own JD from LinkedIn, Indeed, or a careers page — we don’t list jobs. Paste → Apply Kit → share pack → log outcomes.
