Presenting yourself: Tips for showcasing your UX experience in your portfolio and resume
Join our discussion about what managers look for when hiring to their creative teams. This conversation will focus on Information Architecture and Usability samples, and how to gear your resume to better reflect your experience. We’ll look through examples of good IA portfolios, and we’ll toss in a couple of not so great ones and discuss how they could be improved.
As time permits, we’ll also have an open critique of resumes and samples from attendees. If you’re interested in discussing yours, send an electronic version to cnicollsATironworksDOTcom prior to the meeting!
Panel to be announced
Hosted by Chris Eklund, Solutions Analyst at Affinion Loyalty Group
