The UX of Job Hunting for UX Jobs

Chris welcomes special guest, UX Soup co-creator, and former co-host Derek Viita. Derek left to pursue other opportunities in 2021, so it seemed fitting to bring him back to discuss the job hunting process. Derek and Chris share their opinions on LinkedIn as a job hunting tool and provide tips on resumes, portfolios, and more.
