How Hiring Mangers Review Your UX Portfolio: Sarah Doody Interviews a Product Designer at Facebook

After you apply for a UX role, how do hiring managers and recruiters vet you as a candidate? What do they look for in your UX portfolio? How can you ensure your resume stands out in the sea of applications that UX recruiters and hiring managers have to sift through?

In this interview with Alik Brundrett, a Product Designer at Facebook, we discuss UX job descriptions at Facebook and what you as a UX candidate need to think about when you read job descriptions.

Alik is involved in the real-life UX hiring process at Facebook and provides insights into:

✔️ Mistakes to avoid in your UX portfolio
✔️ Why you must understand who's involved in hiring if you want to stand out
✔️ What the HR person looks for versus the hiring manager
✔️ How to ensure your resume stands out

This video will help you understand the multiple users of your UX portfolio and resume and how you can stand out when you apply for UX roles.
