Everything in this Lightning Lesson comes straight from Jared Spool’s decades of coaching hundreds of UX professionals on their careers.

Through his work with design leaders around the world, Jared has learned how hiring managers are currently looking for new team members to add to their staff.

Crafting your résumé, portfolio, and case studies into compelling documents that attract the attention of hiring managers and recruiters is a design challenge. Jared will walk you through what he’s uncovered about how your materials are currently received and what would make them more effective.

There’s more than just applying to every job that comes your way. You need a more selective strategy that focuses on your strengths. A strategy that guides you through the up-front work that pinpoints your most compelling experience, making you the obvious fit to a hiring manager. 

The strategy here isn’t about applying to more jobs — it’s about applying to the right ones. You need the hiring manager to think, This is the person we need to talk to. That will get you invited to the next stage of the interview pipeline.

Join Jared Spool as he explores how the most successful UX folks apply a selective strategy to secure interviews and offers. Discover where your job search strategy is holding you back, and how you can break through to success.
