Are you maybe applying to jobs that you are not qualified for? Are you having difficulty identifying the gaps in your training? Well then, this workshop is for you! In this workshop, Jen Romano will guide you to identifying the stepping stones you need to get from your current role to the one you want. Jen will share tips on UX levels and how to get from one to the next.
In this 2-hour workshop, we will discuss different UX levels and skillsets required for each level. We will identify intermediate roles and activities that you can do to get from where you are now to where you ultimately want to be. You will learn how to think outside the box to gain experience and grow in your current role, ultimately leading you to your desired place. Even if we do not discuss your current position, you will learn TONS from hearing about others’ experiences and goals.
Jen has been helping people level up for years, moving from junior-level UX roles to senior-level roles. Jen uses tips based on years hiring and managing teams in big tech companies. You won’t want to miss this!
