UX Portfolios – Do’s, Don’ts, and Definites

Awaiting Location

Job hunting is exhausting, and building a “perfect” online presence can be a challenge, especially if you can’t code, lack visual design work, or are locked behind NDAs.

This session will help provide ideas to build a solid resume, LinkedIn profile and a portfolio suitable to showcase who  you are and what you are capable of.

What we will cover:

Brand Yourself: Craft a compelling, consistent narrative across your resume and LinkedIn.

Tools: Which tools are free / low-cost and actually easy to use?

No Visuals: How to create engaging portfolios if you don’t have an abundance of work.

Case Study Structure: What to include, how much detail is too much, etc.

Hiring Manager Perspective: What we actually look for, common mistakes to avoid, and when a portfolio is (or isn’t) necessary.

Note: We will take a live poll at the beginning of the session to tailor the content to the audience’s mix of experience levels.
