Part 1 - Land Your UX Dream Job: Tales from a Hiring Manager
Over the past few years, AppNexus has experienced tremendous growth. Having processed hundreds of applications for UX roles, Ashley Hemingway would like to share some tips and tricks for UX job seekers, to ensure their applications stand out for all the right reasons. In this talk, Ashley will share user-centric principles in order to help job seekers tailor their applications, resumes and portfolios to their user": the hiring manger.
Part 2 - Rsum Speed Dating
What is it and how does it work?
A series of 2-person stations are set up around the room. A reviewer (a senior-level UX-industry professional or UX-industry recruiter) is seated at each station. Participants sit with the reviewer and hand over their resume plus whatever work samples they've brought, and in the few minutes allowed, the reviewer provides their assessment. Feedback is brief and high-level. At the end of the session it's time for the participant to move on.
Work samples may include wireframes, documentation, screenshots, etc. Samples can be presented on paper or via laptops or tablets. This will make it possible for reviewers to get a much clearer picture of participants' capabilities in the time allowed.
Attendee Checklist
In order to get the most out of rsum speed dating, attendees are highly encouraged to bring the following items:
15 printed copies of your rsum
Optional: Work samples (print out or on mobile device)
