If you are on your job search stop scrolling.. I’ve got a helpful tool for you These days to apply to a job a portfolio is required. That is not new news. However, even with this fact I find it interesting that more often than not, your portfolio is not thought about as your most important case study. Think about it… 👉 You know who your personas are, both their roles and their needs 👉 You know the flow you want them to take to understand your career journey So why do you think of it differently than a large UX case study? To me, this looks like understanding how a reader (Hiring Manager) interacts through the case study and overall portfolio site. That is where this tool comes in. ✨ Connect your portfolio site to a heat map ✨ This way, you can see the flow your reader follows. This allows you to understand what they click on and what they think is the most important. By doing this, it then allows you to design your site based on the information they want to see, so you ultimately help create a better experience for your reader! Have you tried this before? 👇

Friends, I'm doing a thing this Friday, Oct. 4th. I think it will be extremely helpful to those of you currently looking for a #UX or #ProductDesign job. I'm co-hosting a webinar with my friend and fellow no-bullshitter Rajeev Subramanian, to give you some proven methods to land a UX job, even in a market as tough and as broken as this one obviously is. It's called the 90-Minute Mindset Shift: How to Land a UX Job in a TOUGH Market. And those first 4 words matter greatly — because I can practically guarantee that the mindset and approach you're taking right now is not serving you. Specifically, you'll learn: 1) How to find and clearly define your specialization and niche skillset. We're gonna go beyond the bullshit, high-level strategies you see all over LinkedIn. This is a detailed roadmap (with examples) on a time-tested blueprint that has worked for hundreds of people. 2) The REAL secrets to getting job responses. Why you need to STOP blindly applying to 50 jobs using Linkedin "easy apply" and expecting results. Learn how to target the right people — and say the right things at the right time. 3) The reasons that bootcamp isn't getting you what you thought it would. Foundations and fundamentals of UX aren't enough, friends. What's MISSING is credentialed coaching, actionable lessons and hand-held guidance all the way to the finish line. Only 200 seats available — register now, right here: https://lnkd.in/eUnMtHqn Again, it's this Friday, October 4th, 12:30 pm EST / 9:30 PST. Get useful, reality-check-driven insights on how to transcend the challenges of the current UX job market — and a down, saturated economy. Walk away with proven strategies for building a standout portfolio and job search approach. And free yourself from pointless spray-and-pray tactics that not only fail to get recruiters' attention, but leave you feeling more defeated. The session will be recorded, and all attendees get access to the recording. And, uh...it's FREE. If you're looking for a job right now, you have nothing to lose and absolutely everything to gainby spending 90 minutes with me and Rajeev this Friday. We've both coached folks trying to land jobs in this industry for a very LONG time, so we're pretty clear on what works and what doesn't. Not based on opinion — but on hard evidence. I'll see you there.

I've talked to a lot of you in the past few weeks. It's painful to sit down with you, trying to brainstorm ways to help you get your foot in the door, only to see you get hit with dead ends and face rejections in your #jobsearch. I sat down over the weekend and had an idea of how to help. So often, I evangelize this notion that we should "design" our approach or "UX" our job search. In some cases, this works wonders. But what about when you're not getting anywhere with this method? That's when I realized we could consider how other professions might use their skills, strategies, and expertise and apply those to their careers. • What would an architect do if she were in your shoes? • How about a detective? • Or even a farmer? How would they approach the job search differently? "WHAT WOULD A (fill in the blank) DO?" is a series I've created, exploring 10 different professions and how to apply their strategies and skills to land your next role. Thumb through the 10 different professions, study them, and see what sticks out. You might even have ideas from other roles and professions that you could add to this list! I hope this helps! Let me know which ones stick out! #careers #ux
