Interiors CV Toolkit

How to structure your CV for roles in the interiors industry that get interviews

Struggling to get interviews despite strong experience?

In interiors recruitment, we see this constantly — talented designers, sales professionals and creatives whose CVs don’t clearly communicate their experience or level.

Not because they lack ability, but because their CV isn’t structured in a way studios immediately understand.

This toolkit is designed to fix that.

Why I created this

Working directly with companies and candidates across the UK, we see what gets attention — and what gets overlooked.

One thing is consistent:

The clearest CVs are the ones that get interviews.

So we created a simple, practical guide to help you structure your CV in a way that reflects your experience clearly and professionally within the interiors industry.

Who this is for

This toolkit is for you if you are:

• applying for interior design roles

What this is NOT

This is not:

The outcome

The goal is simple:

Help you present your experience clearly so studios can immediately understand your level, value, and suitability for roles.

Why it matters now
