To stand out, you have to be different in a sea of sameness.

Yes, you’re up against hundreds of candidates.

But, 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 live UX Portfolio workshop and Q&A with Sarah Doody you will learn:

  • Learn 3 strategies to get more interviews, without redesigning your resume or portfolio 15 more times
  • Understand what UX recruiters look for in today's UX job market
  • Identify mistakes you've unknowingly been making so you can understand why you're not getting interviews and/or offers
  • Be prepared for an unexpected layoff so you can be ready to apply at nearly a moment's notice
