Web Designer Skills
Simply being trained in web design isn’t enough to ensure that you are able to find a job. Candidates will need to use their portfolios, cover letters, and resumes to demonstrate a fairly varied skill set to hiring managers. Not only will they need to display that they have sufficient technical skills in web design tools like Figma, but they will also need to demonstrate skills such as coding and graphic design proficiency. Plus, they’ll need to be able to demonstrate that they possess a number of different soft skills that are important for design studio work.
Some of these skills will be technical skills that you learn in a professional training program, and you’ll demonstrate these skills in your portfolio and resume. Other skills will be creative design skills since it isn’t enough to know how to use a tool, rather, you need to demonstrate that you can use it well. Aspiring designers will also need to demonstrate technical coding skills, though this may often be in the form of a technical skills interview.
