You Asked, We Answered - Listener Grab Bag #4
Manage episode 447159547 series 3348043
In this AMA, Amy and Laura (or maybe her doppleganger) answer some listener-submitted questions.
- Hiring managers want UX rock stars, so how do you get hired if you've had the misfortune of working in places where you weren’t supported or were underutilized, and didn't get to have much impact as a designer or work on cool stuff?
- How do you quantify results on your resume if they aren't tracked, a project got canceled, or you got laid off and don't know what happened?
- What should specialist designers do in a job market where generalists are being favored, especially those with visual design skills? Is a generalist path still viable?
- A role for Senior UXR at Amazon wants 6+ years leading research projects with demonstrated impact. I assume they are strict with their requirements. Do they count academic research as experience?
- I was recently interviewing for a job and the salary I discussed with the recruiter was $105K-$110K CAD. I got the job and now they’re offering me $82K-$90K CAD. Is there a way to re-negotiate this offer?
- What’s your take on engaging with LinkedIn content that's critical about the inhumanities of the job search?
Bonus: find out how we really feel about Figma and labor unions.
