Effective UX Portfolios: Live Review by UX Hiring Manager from Amex & Amazon

Does your UX portfolio attract recruiters and hiring managers (and does NOT scare them away)? As you may know, the portfolio is one of the most crucial parts of a UX job search, and making some of the common mistakes can ruin your chances of landing that first UX role.

You may have heard that what will ultimately get you hired is a strong portfolio with real comprehensive UX case studies.

This interactive virtual event will feature a UX hiring manager who reviewed lots of portfolios and hired many candidates. The guest is a senior UX professional from Amazon who previously worked as a UX Director at American Express and held roles at Forrester and AOL.

We will first discuss how exactly you can build an awesome portfolio with strong case studies.

After that, the guest will actually conduct live UX portfolio reviews and provide feedback on portfolios of several selected candidates and answer your questions. You definitely do not want to miss this interactive session :)

Watch this virtual event to go behind the scenes and understand what is going on in a hiring manager’s mind while they are evaluating UX portfolios so you can become a highly marketable candidate and nail that first UX job search in 2026.
