Stand Out: A Working Community for Unemployed UX Leaders
Hunting for a UX job is more challenging than ever. It’s a mess out there.
There’s never been so many UX professionals looking for their next job at one time.
It’s never been more important to stand out from the crowd to show hiring managers you’re the right fit for their open positions. Yet, your tactics for a successful job hunt need to change when so many other applicants are looking simultaneously.
These challenges are especially true for senior UXers looking to expand their contributions in their next job. Finding a position ready to give you the growth opportunities you seek is a difficult challenge. And you don’t want to settle into something where you can’t do your best work.
Introducing Stand Out: A Working Community for Unemployed UX Leaders
That’s why we’ve created a working community to ease the struggles of navigating this chaotic job market.
When you join the community, you’ll participate in our weekly live discussions that explore the new tactics and practices you need for today’s UX job market.
Every Friday, at 3pm ET, Jared Spool will work directly with you and the small group of unemployed UX leaders who have joined the community.
Together, you’ll take a deep dive to uncover how you’ll:
- Present your vast experience most effectively in your résumé, portfolios, and cover letters.
- Stand out in the application screening process to get an early interview quickly.
- Make the most of your networking efforts to access unpublished opportunities.
- Pitch yourself as a strategic UX leader who will bring great value to the organization.
We’ve created this as a working community, not just lectures and webinars (though there will be plenty of learning opportunities).
You’ll find a supportive environment filled with folks who know precisely the challenges of finding a new job in this market.
In addition to the weekly live discussions, you’ll find a dedicated community space with resources and online conversations to explore your unique situations.
Together, we’ll encourage and bolster you through the difficult task of putting your career under a microscope as you try to prove you’re the person your next job is seeking. You’ll come away from each interaction inspired to take everything to the next level.
