In this livestream, I explore the evolving field of UX and provide detailed resume reviews, making it a valuable session for anyone in the UX field.
During one viewer’s resume review, I highlight their unique use of Notion to present skills visually and suggest emphasizing leadership and strategic abilities over specific expertise in accessibility or research. General advice includes using assertive language, simplifying the resume, and showcasing leadership experience and awards. For another viewer, I advise emphasizing relevant B2B SaaS experience, being truthful about roles, and using outcome-oriented language to better showcase skills and achievements.
In another resume review, I recommend highlighting specific research processes, actionable recommendations, and significant contributions. Additionally, stressing the importance of quantifying improvements and describing the impact of design changes on user experience or business outcomes.
I also share tips for finding UX design internships, emphasizing the importance of being proactive, joining job boards, and directly reaching out to designers and companies.
The session underscores the need to tailor resumes to specific job descriptions, focusing on relevant skills and experiences, especially in competitive fields like UX.
