Struggling with your UX portfolio or job search?
Join us for a Q&A with recently hired UX people and a BS-free workshop to improve your UX portfolio
Join me, Sarah Doody, for 2 live events:
- May 13 at 4pm ET: Q&A with alum of Career Strategy Lab
- May 14 at 4pm ET: UX portfolio workshop with Sarah Doody

To solve the problem of standing out as a UX candidate, you have to UX it.
Yes, you’re up against hundreds of candidates.
AND, most of them will come across as average, and not stand out.
Here’s the BRUTAL TRUTH … most UX professionals do not UX their own careers.
And THIS is why they don’t stand out as a candidate, or once they are hired.
So, how do you aren’t falling behind? How can you articulate your value on your team, or in your job search?
It starts with understanding the 4Cs you need to stand out, whether in a job search or on your team.
In this workshop you’ll learn the 4Cs and EXACTLY how can use them immediately after this workshop so you can stand out in 2025.
At the UX Portfolio Workshop and Q&A with Career Strategy Lab alumni you will:
- Understand exactly what UX recruiters and hiring managers want to see in your UX portfolio so you can design for them
- Learn the 6 mistakes UX candidates make that cause them to not be visible to recruiters, hiring managers, or their boss, stakeholders, etc.
- Hear from UX and Product people who've joined Career Strategy Lab's UX job search accelerator
- Reframe what's within your control when it comes to standing out in your job search or on your team
About Sarah
Hi, I’m Sarah Doody, a UX Designer & Researcher with 20 years of experience.
In 2017 I noticed a problem, UX people aren’t great at UX-ing their own careers, which is why they get stuck in creating their UX portfolio and navigating their UX job search.
So I did something about it, I created the first UX job search accelerator, on average people get 5-figure salary increases. And some have been hired in as few as 47 days.
My experience as a UX Researcher lead me to create a holistic approach that will help you and looks at your career and life – so you can go from being invisible to in demand regardless of what’s happening in the UX job market.

On May 13, enrollment will open for our UX Job Search Accelerator before the price goes up June 1.
Whether you’ve been thinking of joining us for a year or more, or are just learning about Career Strategy Lab’s UX Job Search Accelerator today … this is your fair warning.
