Attended Why the bar to stand out in your UX job search is lower than you think by Sarah Doody
Do you feel like it’s impossible to stand out from other UX candidates? Is your confidence shattered every time you see an awesome UX resume or case study on social media or in communities you belong to?
Listen up, all the amazing resumes and case studies you see are not a reflection of all your competition in your UX job search. After getting into UX recruiting in 2022, I can tell you that many, many candidates are applying with resumes, case studies, and portfolios are underwhelming and sometimes they’re unfortunately cringe-worthy.
The key to standing out in your UX job search is to get back to basics and apply some UX principles to your job search and career materials. In this video, we’ll look at:
👥 Who the actual users and stakeholders are in your UX job search
🎯 How perfectionism is preventing you from getting job interviews and offers
🌱 Why you need to apply an MVP mindset to your job search
Have you been passing up applying to roles because you think your materials aren’t good enough or you just need another weekend to “re-design” your resume or portfolio?
The bar to stand out from other UX candidates is a lot lower than you think. This is why it’s crucial that you hit pause on whatever you’re doing with your UX job search so you can start applying ASAP and get job interviews and offers faster than you think.
