    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:  

    1. Recruiter 
    2. Referral 
    3. Job Board 
    4. Other  
    5. Also, watch the video to see which one came out on top.

      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!"

    9. #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.  
      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.

      Youtube Version: https://youtu.be/IOLsQSxXYpU

    12. #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. 

      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.

    13. #3 - Why I HATED being a Graphic Designer

      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. 

      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.
