What should an interior designer resume include?
Design studios, turnkey firms and developers in India hire interior designers who can move a project from brief and layout to drawings, site coordination and handover within budget. A good resume states the project types and sizes, software such as AutoCAD and SketchUp, typical budgets handled, and how you worked with contractors, vendors and clients on site.
Skills recruiters look for:
- Space planning
- Working drawings and detailing
- 3D visualisation and rendering
- Material and finish specification
- BOQ and cost estimation
From our sample resumes:
- Shraddha’s bullet on recording beam and plumbing positions shows site discipline, the skill residential studios most often find missing in design graduates.
- Imran gives both the number of projects and how many were handed over on time, which fit-out firms treat as the clearest proof of project control.
