The Essentials of Finding Your Next UX Job!

This video series is for people who are actively seeking their next UX job. Join Jared Spool to explore how the job market has changed in the last few years and the new tactics you’ll need to land that ideal opportunity.

Let’s be honest. The UX job market is a mess right now.

It seems every posting gets hundreds of applications immediately. Getting an invitation to a first interview is almost impossible. Hearing “I’m sorry, we’re moving forward with another candidate” is downright depressing.

You'll need the right tactics to get that next job. You’ll need to take advantage of the network you’ve built. You’ll need to get the attention of the hiring manager. Plus, you’ll need your ability to do the job to catch that manager’s attention.

This special session is for people who are actively seeking their next UX job. Join me to explore how the job market has changed in the last few years and the new tactics you’ll need to land that ideal opportunity.

Uncover how you’ll…

Get on the radar of hiring managers who have positions you could be highly qualified for, prioritizing your consideration above other applicants.
Prepare your portfolio to tell the story of your comparable experience, even when starting your UX career.
Build up your networking practice to get promising interviews without applying to hundreds of positions.

I've had the great opportunity to be present with Jared and his team as they are creating these episodes. I took copious notes and I expect you will, too.

There's a lot here and even for someone like me who has been in the ux space for many years it's eye-opening. There's an old saying that "we don't know who discovered water but we're pretty sure it wasn't a fish." I'm the fish in this analogy and having the outside perspective and experience that Jared Spool brings is entirely worth your time and dollars. ❞

I am so grateful you made them affordable for those of us experiencing unemployment. Plus, I am amazed at the many unique insights each video offers.

Despite being a designer for about 30 years and enduring 6 layoffs throughout my career, I still learned valuable advice from Jared's content. He is truly an asset to the design community, providing guidance that resonates with professionals at every experience level.
