Details
About the Session
The UX job market is under real pressure right now. We know many of you in our community are either navigating a transition or actively looking for your next challenge. So how do you stand out as a UX professional when competition is fierce?
To make sure you walk away with more than just inspiration we've invited two true experts to our next Zurich meetup: Nina Weber and Javier Bargas-Avila from Astrolabium.
They know exactly what hiring managers look for, and where UX professionals most commonly stumble in their portfolios and interviews. Rather than a one-way lecture, this session is built around direct, open exchange - so bring your questions!
