Questions about this data

What skills do most Designer job postings ask for?

Across 76 Designer postings from the last 90 days, the most frequently named are AI (42%), Figma (41%), Prototyping (21%). Each percentage is the share of those postings naming the term at least once.

How common is Visual design in Designer postings?

Visual design appears in 8% of the 76 Designer postings counted — roughly 6 of them. That places it mid-pack rather than near-universal, which is worth knowing before you rewrite a résumé around it.

Where does this Designer data come from?

Public job postings published by employers on their own career sites, collected through the official Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby job-board APIs. It is a count of 76 real postings seen in the last 90 days — not a survey, an estimate, or a model's guess.

Should I add these skills to my résumé?

Only the ones you genuinely have. Frequency tells you which terms to surface and phrase in the employer's own words if they are already true of you. Adding a skill you can't defend is the fastest way to fail an interview, so FreshStartr reports gaps rather than writing them in.

Which of these does your résumé actually evidence?

Paste a Designer posting and you get a line-by-line match report: what you already prove, and what you don’t. Gaps are reported, never written in for you.
