Manage episode 415271123 series 3495117
Unlocking potential in your career can often feel like a maze with no clear exit. This episode takes you inside one of our weekly Q&A calls that we do with our Career Strategy Lab clients. These calls allow our Career Strategy Lab members to come together in real-time to talk through their wins, struggles, and questions. Forget edited scenarios; you’re getting the raw and real questions that our clients grapple with, and the practical advice provided by our expert coaching team.
In this episode of the Career Strategy Lab, you'll hear from individuals in different stages of their UX careers as they tackle challenges like articulating work, determining the ideal number of bullet points for their resume, and curating a UX portfolio with just the right amount of case studies. The discussions delve into whether it's better to stick to a career path closely or to pivot when unique opportunities arise, even if they don't perfectly align with long-term goals.
Have questions? Join us in Career Strategy Lab to get your questions answered and career materials critiqued!
00:00 Tips to improve your "about me" or what we refer to as a Compass Statement
03:39 Suggest 2-3 bullet points, vary by content and context.
08:47 Portfolios vary, no set limit. Tailor to showcase skills. No one-size-fits-all.
10:33 Submit assets after going through the curriculum to match CSL standards, avoid quadruple work for feedback.
16:07 Discussion about decision-making mindset and past experience parallels.
20:22 People are encouraged to share and listen to others' experiences for support.
