EP 63 | Rejected to Hired: Surviving the UX Job Hunt with ‪@SarahDoody‬

Job searching has always been harder than it looks, and if you've been searching for a while without much traction, there's a good chance your strategy is working against you. Guest host Laura Klein sits down with Sarah Doody, founder of the Career Strategy Lab, to talk about what UX practitioners get wrong when searching for work. They cover: → Why the DIY approach tanks your confidence over time → How to treat yourself as a candidate-product — complete with features, benefits, and a roadmap → The role of community in the job search → What your LinkedIn is actually signaling to recruiters → Why some of the best UX opportunities are hiding in industries you've never considered. 👥 Guest | Sarah Doody, UX Researcher & Career Coach Bio // https://www.sarahdoody.com/ LinkedIn //   / sarahdoody   Career Strategy Lab // https://www.careerstrategylab.com/ Career Strategy Lab Podcast //    • Career Strategy Podcast   Instagram //   / sarahdoody   📚 Related NN/G Articles & Episodes EP 59 | Getting Hired in UX: What to Do When Apply-and-Wait Isn't Enough (with Evan Sunwall)    • Getting Hired in UX: What to Do When Apply...   EP 53 | Why You're Not Getting Job Interviews (with Hang Xu) |    • 53. Why You're Not Getting Job Interviews ...   EP 19 | Designing a UX Career (with Sarah Doody) |    • 19. Designing a UX Career (ft. Sarah Doody)   UX Layoff Crisis: A Guide for Resilience and Recovery | https://www.nngroup.com/articles/ux-l...
