UX writer resume template
Short answer
Meridian suits a UX writer: skills print before experience in labelled rows, so content design methods and tools like Figma are read first, and a projects section holds case studies. The fictional sample writes interface text for a banking app with about 2 million users, built its voice and tone guide and rewrote verification errors that drove support tickets, after three years as an agency copywriter.

Why Meridian suits a UX writer resume
Meridian prints skills above work experience in labelled rows (content design methods, then Figma and testing tools) and has a projects section after experience, a good place for two short case studies. The plain black-and-grey page also shows the clarity you sell: no decoration competing with the words.
Second choice: Leslie. Leslie puts experience ahead of skills under one blue accent; pick it once your product and company names are better proof than your methods.
What goes in each section, in Meridian's order
Meridian 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.
- Professional Summary. The product type and audience (banking, health, developer tools, ecommerce), the parts of the product you write for, and one result tied to user behaviour or support volume.
- Skills. Technical: microcopy, content design, voice and tone, content testing, localization-ready writing. Tools: Figma, a string or content management tool, analytics. These are what a design manager looks for first.
- Work Experience. Flows you wrote for, guides and patterns you built and measured changes: completion, errors, support tickets, test results. Mention the designers, researchers, engineers and legal reviewers you worked with.
- Projects. Two case studies, each with the problem, your process and the result, linked to your portfolio. Choose ones that show research or testing, not only before-and-after screenshots.
- Education. Degree and year. Writing, journalism, linguistics and psychology are common backgrounds; a content design course can share the line.

How to make the sample yours
Lead with a user problem
Error messages that caused tickets, a sign-up step people abandoned, a confusing fee screen: show the problem and what your words changed.
Show testing, not taste
A/B tests, comprehension tests and research sessions show your choices were checked with users. One tested result beats three adjectives.
Mention systems work
Voice and tone guides, content patterns and string libraries scale your work across teams; hiring managers want writers who build them.
Content designer or UX writer?
Use the posting's title in the headline. Content design roles often expect more research and structure, so lead with those bullets for them.
Coming from marketing copy
Show interface work, even small: an onboarding flow, a help center rewrite, a redesign you wrote for. Keep campaign work to one bullet.
Keywords to keep where they are true
Terms this kind of resume is usually searched for. Use the posting's exact wording, and only for work you have done.

How the sample PDF reads in text extractors
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.
| Extractor | Name, email, phone | Headings | Bullets intact |
|---|---|---|---|
| pdf.js 4.10.38 | All found | 5 of 5 | 10 of 10 |
| pdftotext (Xpdf) 4.00 | All found | 5 of 5 | 10 of 10 |

Frequently asked questions
What should a UX writer portfolio include?
Two to four case studies: the problem, constraints, options you tried, the final text and the result. Redact or recreate screens from unreleased or confidential products.
Is a UX writer the same as a content designer?
The titles overlap. Content designer roles often include more research, structure and information architecture; UX writer roles focus on interface text. Use the posting's title and lead with the matching work.
How do I become a UX writer without UX experience?
Rewrite a real product flow, test it with a few people, and write it up as a case study. Copywriting, technical writing, support and journalism experience all transfer.
Should a UX writer list design tools?
Yes. Most UX writers work directly in Figma and in string or content management tools; name the ones you use daily.
How long should a UX writer resume be?
One page. Short, clear bullets are part of the sample of your work.
Will applicant tracking systems read this Meridian PDF?
The sample PDF read back with its contact details, all 5 section headings and all 10 bullets intact in three open-source text extractors (pdf.js, pdftotext and pypdf). Commercial systems such as Workday, Greenhouse or Taleo were not tested, and each employer configures its own.
