Just bought your new book! It only makes sense that with all the free advice you share, that I contribute back to you and support one of your works. Thanks for all the wealth of knowledge that you offer! Honestly, I wish you had more followers because I worry that too many UX designers these days are misled by others into what is expected of the job role and I worry that a lot of their miseducation is then onboarded into companies that hire them, which then reshapes the UX Field into a reductive version of itself. There'd be less "dark patterns" in tech if we had proper user-centric designers that evangelize UX & fearlessly advocate for users, instead of being UI-focused Devs & Coders that carry the UX title.
Awesome video and perfect timing for me! I just finished my new CV today and your video helped me refine some aspects.
Thanks for the tips man, after 4 years in a startup I've learned a heck of a lot and now want to see what the market is like out there in London. I have to get that profile updated and just staring and thinking how to summarise all this work was overwhelming, this is a great start.
GOLD advice. Thanks a lot @vaexperience !
I will re-watch the video a couple of times to be sure I don't miss anything. And take all this into consideration to re-do my resume and maximize my chances.
Thanks again.
You do the best reviews online, greetings from Brazil!
A wealth of knowledge right here that goes beyond UX and applies to all professions. Thanks!
Mate!! Possibly the best advice for creating a CV I've seen!! The lasty 5 mins are absolute gold!! Thank you for you insights.
haha i love how you said ur resume looked exactly like this when starting out, it helped reassure me im on the right path :)
Thank you for emphasizing to not mix up the scales of the skills in the skills section!
Thank you for making this!!
This is soooooo helpful. Thank you!
Brilliant - thanks I have your book nearly finished :)
Thanks a lot. I find this really useful!
You are a wonderful teacher!
Very helpful Video as always .
wow!! outstanding video! back to "drawing table". and get things right!
Outcomes first rule is a gold! I came to the same conclusion that most resumes have the same content (industry standard) but instead of thinking about showcasing outcomes I just put a bit of storytelling to my resume 😅
Many thanks!
Great video! I think there's a real need when it comes for evaluating the UI/UX/Product Design resumes.
However, I'd like to touch upon the problem of the ATS (applicant tracking system) software. Not all resumes land directly in the hands of a recruiter, more often than not you have to pass the ATS software, and that means some pretty dirty SEO spam-like strategies in order to make sure the system finds matches on the keywords required.
Maybe you could develop this a bit in the next video?
Same principles apply. ATSes match job spec with resume - as long as your resume is tailored to highlight the skills needed for the opening there shouldn't be any issues.
Thank you so much , this is very helpfull, just i want to ask if my field of study has nothing to do with ux/ui design should i put it in my resume or not.
HI, I really like your videos and I think it's really useful. And I'd like to join your design squad( UX community), but I can't join in. Because I always stay at " human test" 😭 I tested over 10 times in the " human or robot test", and I always can't pass the test.
what can I add in my resume if I have no experience and just a student aiming for entry level ux roles. Should I elaborate on my ux case studies or just give the link to my portfolio site.
Fantastic video! What if you don't have access to analytics or tangible data (e.g. conversion rates or number of students) to support the outcomes listed?
Make it happen next time
im a 3d artist and i have the same question. in my portfolio, have made Post apo weapon, shield etc.. im not understanding how to write that in my experence
For the last point, you were speaking on think it goes this way-
Problem: What was the initial problem of the organization
Solution: How did you go about solving it
Result: What was the result or output after your solution had been implemented.
Put these together and I think we get a nice structure for each bullet point.
tell some resume templates for UX design jobs.
Hey, Vy! Thank you for another very helpful video. It totally makes sense to list out all the outcomes achieved rather than the default skills. What if I'm a newbie and don't have any experience of that kind? I'm currently designing an app that would help vegans discover new vegan products around the city. What I'm struggling to figure out is how I would outline the impact I achieved for a project that is conceptual? Your book is awesome, btw! :)
Define success measures > user test/iterate > draw out those measures
This. It’s baffling how this is skated over in so many videos. When you don’t have real projects or are working with a small/new business, often these “results” aren’t quantifiable. Never enough info given why and how to actually express this!
Vy, do you have any videos focusing on defining success measures and the steps you describe?
Can you please do a video about biginer level resume, I mean I'm a graphis designer and I learnd UiUx and I wanna make a resume that enough for get a job. I have only experience in design field.
Get the experience by learning ux and doing projects on the side. Then draw the themes out of it. There's no shortcuts here - you'll need to do the work first (on your own or paid) then list the experience on resume.
Hy Vy, how if add years experience beside “Tools” section? So that means it could be “Adobe CC - 4 years exp” Does that make sense to you?
Irrelevant info. Juts tell me if you're proficient with it. 1,2,3,5,10 years... all could mean the same level of aptitude. Majority of the tools can take a weekend or a few weeks to become proficient with anyways so that certainly is just a keyword hiring managers will look to match.
I have front end dev and back end dev experience. How I can I tailor this in my resume while applying for product Design roles in tech startups? I don't want to hamper my chances.
Same as in the video example - check the job ad and tailor to it showing the relevant skills
I am very confused. I have recieved different suggestions from different sources. I initially created a simple resume and it just followed a clear hierarchy devoid of any graphics. But one of the people in the industry suggested that I should use my ux skills to make it interesting as they don't even go past the resume if it is "boring"
Did they mean use your creative or UI skills? UX skills means usability and utility - keep it simple.
Hi! Are there any resumes you would recommend as a good example? I understood 'don'ts', but can't imagine 'dos' clearly.
If you don't do the don'ts the DOs will happen naturally
Hey, Vy What would you recommend me to put on my resume when I literally no experience but only have a portfolio.
What's in your portfolio? if you did ux by the book that's experience
@@vaexperience im a 3d artist and i have the same question. in my portfolio, have made Post apo weapon, shield etc.. im not understanding how to write that in my experence
I have a question. Would you ever put a personal project/case study that isn’t developed or live onto your résumé? Asking for those who don’t have much real world UX experience but would at least like to feel in one previous experience with something related to UX…
I guess the point is to include what you have the best in your resume...that can be concept design/personal project isn't developed if you don't have real-world projects. I landed my first design gig by a practice design and I think this applies to many designers.
@@emmapotter2333 you're amazing. thanks emma. i dont think my website will be done until another 2 months. Trying to stay calm through all of it and ready to hit the market for 2024
7:19 ..you just overestimated recruiters in general buddy 😂
Has anyone got a job by following these tips?
I am not going to share this video with my concurrents! Because I want to be the only one candidate with a good resume 😎
Your definitions of design terms are way off buddy.
