Putting Collaboration, Figma and the rest on your resume
- Lead with the category leaders you really have: User research (hard skills, 61.5%), Figma (tools & platforms, 73.1%) and Collaboration (soft skills, 80.8%).
- Copy the posting's wording. A recruiter who searches for "Collaboration" or "Figma" looks for that exact term, not a looser label.
- Collaboration and Figma turn up together in 65.4% of these postings, so one bullet can show both.
- Pick, don't pile. Listing all 19 terms from this page reads as padding; keep the ones you could talk through in an interview.
