Ask HN: What to make of UI/UX designers with bad resumes?

Recently I've been interviewing UI/UX designers, and there have been some poorly done resumes. Some examples:

- poor alignment between sections

- changing of verb tense within a role description

- difficult to find portfolio URLs

I've asked them about it, and the general vibe I get is that they apply their design sensibilities to digital things, and it never occurs to them to do likewise to their resume.

It seems possible to be an excellent designer but just sort of brick (because of domain specificity perhaps) on the resume, but it also shows some lack of attention to detail.

So if someone has a fantastic portfolio but a horrible resume, how do you treat that?
