Rejected to Hired: Surviving the UX Job Hunt

Job searching has always been harder than it looks, and if you've been searching for a while without much traction, there's a good chance your strategy is working against you. Guest host Laura Klein sits down with Sarah Doody, founder of the Career Strategy Lab, to talk about what UX practitioners get wrong when searching for work.

They cover:

• Why the DIY approach tanks your confidence over time
• How to treat yourself as a candidate-product — complete with features, benefits, and a roadmap
• The role of community in the job search
• what your LinkedIn is actually signaling to recruiters
• Why some of the best UX opportunities are hiding in industries you've never considered.
