Alright this is gunna be a thread about #hiring, #UX, and some things I did that maybe helped land me a job? Maybe not? But, I did get some interviews and just signed an offer letter for a FTE this morning, so maybe there is something to glean from this.

What’s everyone take on cover letters now? In the age of ai, what’s the point? Are they all the same? Feel like I might be better of just typing up a non-traditional one and cutting to the chase.

I don't come across many tools that blow me away, but the depth and craftmanship put into #Framer is seriously something else. Like, ofc we all use Figma and it's the tool, but if, say, they sold to a megacorp overnight and we looked elsewhere, I wouldn't be surprised if Framer capitalized.

Over the years, I've amassed about 40 different Workday logins clogging up my Bitwarden.

Can't help but think if they allowed for users to have a single profile it could become one of the largest job boards overnight...

Are you a #ux designer? Are you thinking…you know, all things considered, I’m having a pretty good day?

…when’s the last time you updated your portfolio?

Sup ya’ll.

New to the platform, not the internet. I’m a UX designer, hobbyist game designer, and dad.

First things first: my wonderfully secure finance design role/team was “right sized” last week! Fun and unexpected.

Back at the search. Portfolio in bio. LMK of any senior role!
