A designer I work with had this as his title:

"Senior Consultant / UX-UI Design Expert / Corporate Design / Graphic Design"

Five different labels. Covering everything he could possibly do.

I asked him a simple question.

If a recruiter has 7 seconds to place you in a box... which box do you go in?

He went quiet.

Then I shared something my business coach taught me.

Stop trying to be the best designer.

Be the designer best AT _______.

One word changes the whole positioning.

Best at what?

His last three roles were all complex enterprise B2B. Regulated industries. Finance. Healthcare. Data-heavy dashboards. Large-scale transformation projects.

So we rewrote the title.

"Senior enterprise UX designer specializing in complex data systems for regulated industries."

One line. One box. The right box.

The interesting part. Every role he'd been applying for was in that exact space. He just wasn't telling anyone.

His resume said "I can do everything." The market heard "I don't know what I'm best at."

The more experience you have, the harder this gets. Because you CAN do a lot of things. And it feels wrong to leave things off.

But a recruiter can't place you if you don't help them.

One title. One box. The right one.

If you're unsure which box is yours... DM me BACKDOOR. I'll help you find it.

Also I built a free diagnostic that scores your positioning the way a hiring manager sees it.
