The results are in! The Best Method for getting your first UX job. I did a poll on my Linkedin Profile last week, on what method did people use to get their first UX job. I was really interested to know, and I thought I would share my result with you all. I broke the poll down into four categories:
Recruiter

Referral

Job Board

Other

UX Design has a lot of moving parts, and the design part is something that I've mastered over the years. Since I've masted that part, my focus is more on the UX Strategy and business side of UX Design.
With that said I hope you enjoy my stories. Like I always say! "Don't Just be a Unicorn, be an Ugly Unicorn!"

November 22, 2020 #7 User Testing vs Usability Testing and why it's important
Youtube Version:
This podcast was about a lot of different things, but I wanted to talk about is User Testing vs Usability Testing and why it's important. I believe that it's important to know the difference between the two because it helps shape your perspective and your goals. Going into a stakeholder meeting not knowing what you are talking about can be dangerous. It creates false expectations and misleading information.

October 19, 2020 #4 - New UX Designers Obsession with Tools & My EGO
YouTube Version: https://youtu.be/-Q-DsBT-lxo
This podcast was about a few things. My Ego, Jiu-jitsu, New UX Designers Obsession Tools (FreshUXers), Competition, Helping People, all that. If you haven't realized, I don't use a script for any of my podcasts. I like to talk about my life experiences and try to weave them into UX and see if there are any parallels. As UX Designers we have to be great storytellers and creating pictures for people so they can grasp our concepts. This podcast allows me to do just that.

YouTube Version: https://youtu.be/7k8Zo1komNA
This podcast is packed full of stories of how I found graphic design, how I started working in graphic design, and my love-hate for graphic design. Even though I hate being a graphic designer, that doesn't mean I don't use the skills I learned over the years in my new career as a UX Designer. As a UX Designer, I use design principles that I learned while in school and on the job.
