The UX Careers Handbook

About this book

This second edition of The UX Careers Handbook offers you all the great advice of the first edition—freshly updated—plus a new chapter on critical soft skills, much more on becoming a UX leader, and a 17th user experience (UX) career pathway.

The UX Careers Handbook, Second Edition, offers you an insider's advice on learning, personal branding, networking skills, building your resume and portfolio, and actually landing that UX job you want, as well as an in-depth look at what it takes to get into and succeed in a UX career.

Whether your interests include design, information architecture, strategy, research, UX writing, or any of the other core UX skillsets, you'll find a wealth of resources in this book.

The book also includes:

  • Insights and personal stories from a range of industry-leading UX professionals to show you how they broke into the industry and evolved their own careers over time
  • Activities and worksheets to help you make good decisions and build your career

Along with the book, you can explore its companion website with more resources and information to help you stay on top of this fast-changing field.

Not only for job seekers, The UX Careers Handbook, Second Edition, is a must-have for

  • Employers and recruiters who want to better understand how to hire and keep UX staff
  • Undergraduate and graduate students thinking about their future careers
  • Professionals in other careers who are thinking about starting to do UX work
