What do design employers look for in a resume?

Your portfolio does the convincing, so put its address in the header and make sure it opens without a password.
Describe the problem and the result, not only the deliverable. A redesign that lifted sign-ups says more than "designed landing pages".
Let the resume show your taste through spacing and type, and keep it readable by software: real text, one clear reading order.
