Resume template for South Korea, under the fair hiring rules

Daniel sets each heading in a rounded grey pill and prints skills before jobs, a softer look suited to a designer whose tools and methods matter as much as job titles. It is single-column with no photo box, so nothing on the page asks for the appearance details that public-sector blind hiring removed.

Second choice: Olivia. Olivia puts the name in white on a full-width blue band, for designers or marketers who want the page to stand out on screen.

Daniel template details and test results

Daniel prints its sections in a fixed order, the same in the PDF and the Word file. Here is that order for this sample, and what to put in each section.

1. Professional Summary. Three lines on your field, years, the product you work on and the role you want. Work24, the labour ministry's job portal, asks that every part of the resume show job competence backed by objective evidence, so give a user count or a result rather than adjectives.
2. Skills. Methods first, then tools, then languages with a test name, score and year. Work24 asks for the date on every language result so an employer can check it is still valid. Daniel shows the groups as unlabelled columns, so keep each group short.
3. Work Experience. Newest first. For experienced applicants Work24 lists company name and main business, department, final title, dates, and main duties with results in numbers; note promotions or team moves separately. New graduates describe activities with dates, place, role and outcome instead.
4. Projects. One project a design lead could open in your portfolio, with the result it produced. Daelim University's career portal asks for practical skills tied to the job and for numbers wherever results are described.
5. Education. Most recent degree first, with year and month and your status (graduated, expected, completed). Give GPA with its scale: Work24 points out that universities grade out of 4.0 or 4.5. The sample's March-to-February dates follow the Korean academic year.
6. Certifications. Job-related certificates, most recent first, each with name, date and issuing body, as Work24 and Daelim University both ask. Daniel prints them near the end; a licence the posting requires should also go in the summary.

The same content as the files above, so you can copy a line or compare it with your own.

Terms this kind of resume is usually searched for. Use the posting's exact wording, and only for work you have done.

• product design
• UX research

• interaction design
• design system
• mobile banking
• onboarding
• payments
• Figma
• prototyping
• A/B testing
• accessibility
• TOEIC

• Volunteering height, weight, birthplace or parents' jobs; the Fair Hiring Procedure Act bars employers with 30 or more workers from demanding them, and they only distract.
• A TOEIC or OPIc score with no date, when Work24 asks for the date so validity can be checked.
• A GPA without its scale, since a 3.9 means different things out of 4.0 and 4.5.
• Rearranging a company's own application form, which Daelim University tells students never to do.
• Rounding results up or claiming a team's work as your own; the Act also forbids applicants from falsifying hiring documents.

We exported this sample with Resumity's PDF exporter in Chrome on 2026-10-29 and read the file back with three open-source text extractors. This shows whether software that turns a PDF into text can recover it; it is not a test of any commercial applicant tracking system. How we test templates.
