Designing your UX Job Search Strategy: A Q&A with Amy Santee
Tuesday, October 15th, 2024 from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM ET. [Online]
Are you looking for a job in this challenging market and putting in a ton of effort, but not getting the results you need? It’s likely that you need to implement a job search strategy. Join us for a Q&A with Amy Santee, Career Strategist and Coach for UX Professionals, who will talk about the importance of being intentional and strategic with your job search, and how to adapt your process to lean times.
Work smarter, not harder
Amy will share tips and best practices that will help you work smarter, not harder. She’ll cover topics like how to position yourself uniquely to tell a compelling professional story, create professional materials that show you’re the right fit, the counterintuitive benefit of being selective with your applications, and how to treat your job search as a system to get a better return on your time and energy and accelerate progress toward your goals.
