@MandaLaceyS @Heathery321 #UXCareer
Big Idea
Know your audience and position
yourself in a relatable way.
Which artifacts to share?
Content Strategy
Show your design process – not just the outcome
Demonstrate how your work impacted the business
Quantify its value (when possible)
@MandaLaceyS @Heathery321 #UXCareer
PAR
Content Strategy
Problem > Action > Result
@MandaLaceyS @Heathery321 #UXCareer
Problem Action Result
Customer calls to call center up due to a
site map that’s not intuitive
Reviewed user activity through site
analytics. Re configured naming
conventions for navigation, realigned
content
Calls to the call center reduced
Sales are down. Customers are not
completing the check out process.
Recommended shorter form requiring less
time. Enhanced microinteractions for a
better experience.
Customer conversion rate
increased and sales are up
Keep track of your work
Content Strategy
@MandaLaceyS @Heathery321 #UXCareer
Talent seekers care more about your
process than your final product
@MandaLaceyS @Heathery321 #UXCareer
Big Idea
Highlight the most
important pieces
UI Design
@MandaLaceyS @Heathery321 #UXCareer
Quality over quantity
Find a way to make it presentable
It doesn’t have to be pretty, but it
needs to be memorable
@MandaLaceyS @Heathery321 #UXCareer
Big Idea
Feedback is critical to
anyone trying to improve
Usability Testing
@MandaLaceyS @Heathery321 #UXCareer
Rehearse walking through your portfolio pieces
Testing your delivery is just as important as
testing a new feature or product
@MandaLaceyS @Heathery321 #UXCareer
Big Idea
Successful UX pros
demonstrate more than their
artifacts and end results
(Personal) Interaction Design
@MandaLaceyS @Heathery321 #UXCareer
They establish personal connections.
@MandaLaceyS @Heathery321 #UXCareer
UX super stars have the communication
skills of a pro negotiator and the
patience of a kindergarten teacher
