Designing Your UX Job Search Strategy: Q&A with Amy Santee

Now that you’re officially on the job market, you’ve put together a resume, spruced up your LinkedIn profile, and applied to tons of jobs. But there’s no response. Why aren’t you getting results after putting in so much effort?

It’s likely that you need to implement a job search strategy, which means designing an intentional plan with specific and prioritized actions that gives you a better return on your time and energy and accelerates progress toward your goals. A strategy encompasses all aspects of your job search, from telling your story and creating professional materials, to being selective with applications and evaluating offers with confidence.

Join us for a Q&A with Amy Santee, Career Strategist and Coach for UX Professionals, who will share tips and best practices for thinking strategically about your job search so you can work smarter, not harder, to land the job you really want in today’s challenging market.

Amy Santee is a Career Strategist and Coach for UX professionals who want to design their careers with intention and bring their good to the world. As a personal growth and career development nerd, she has partnered with hundreds of individuals to implement a practice of self-research, self-advocacy, and strategy, so they can navigate the professional world with courage and confidence.
Prior to coaching, Amy built a career as a UX researcher for product development and strategy in industries including healthcare, automotive, retail, consumer tech, ecommerce, and civic design. In her free time, she enjoys strength training, birding, gardening, and exploring the Pacific Northwest. You can connect with Amy on LinkedIn or learn more at amysantee.com.
