LOOKING TO BREAK INTO UX, BUT NEED SOME (OR LOTS OF) HELP?
Rober Half has cited UX design as one of their 12 best jobs for the
future
[https://www.roberthalf.com/blog/job-market/the-12-best-jobs-for-the-future]
- this after Linkedin listed Product Designers #4 on their Most
Promising jobs of 2019
[https://blog.linkedin.com/2019/january/10/linkedins-most-promising-jobs-of-2019],
and numerous other publications reaching similar conclusion (glassdoor
[https://www.glassdoor.com/List/Best-Jobs-in-America-LST_KQ0,20.htm],
indeed [http://blog.indeed.com/2018/03/15/best-jobs-united-states/],
etc., etc.) If you're looking for guidance to making it happen,
then this consultation is for you!
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN?
A LOT!
In this 2-hour session, I will cover the following topics. Depending
on your needs or situations, I will customize a program that fits
your specific needs:
* UX PORTFOLIO - Have a portfolio that needs critiquing? Or do you
need to start one but needs guidance? I will walk you through the
process of creating one, what hiring managers look for, and how you
can use storytelling to connect with your audience.
* RESUME REVIEW - Job applications are won or lost within the first
few seconds hiring managers or recruiters scan your resume. Learn
how to design your resume to optimize your odds of getting an
interview invitation.
* UX JOB APPLICATION STRATEGY - UX interviews can be intimidating.
Phone screens, on-site interviews, and design challenges! How best
to handle them, and what do the hiring teams look for at every stage?
Understanding the mind of the hiring team will significantly improve
your chance to acing interviews.
* DESIGNER BRANDING - As hot as the industry is now, there are
hundreds, if not thousands, other designers competing with you for the
same job. Being able to clearly define what your brand is all about
can help make you stand out in the sea of applications.
* UX EDUCATION/TRAINING NEEDS - If you are considering taking UX
courses - online or offline, and want to understand the pros and cons
of them. I can walk you through your options and guide you in
selecting what's best for you.
* UX INTERVIEW PREPARATIONS - Nervous about your portfolio
presentation? Need guidance on the Q&As? Need help with your
whiteboard challenge preparations? I will give you the necessary
insight to help you ace your interviews.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
We will meet 1-1 at a mutually convenient location. My date is also
flexible so if you want to meet another night we can most certainly do
so. Once you bought the ticket I'll send you an email to arrange
for our meeting
WHOM IS THIS CONSULTATION FOR?
Anyone who is interested in pivoting into a UX career (UX design or UX
research), or just want to learn about how to break into UX. In my
career, I have mentored a number of folks with diverse backgrounds -
architects, graphic designers, interior designers, developers, startup
owners, and junior designers. I have helped a number of them
reaching their goal of breaking into the UX field, and I'd love to
help you do the same (sounds corny, I know, but it's true...)
WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING
Your resume and your portfolio (if you have one)
