How to Use Storytelling to Create a UX Portfolio That Gets You Hired

Are you jeopardizing your chances of landing that first UX role by the lack of storytelling skills? As you look to break into the competitive UX field, your storytelling ability is not just a 'nice-to-have' - it's a crucial skill that can make or break your job search. Ineffective storytelling in your portfolio case studies can easily lead to failed interviews and tons of rejection emails. It can often be the deciding factor in whether you land that UX job or not.

On the other hand, mastering the art of storytelling can transform your UX portfolio into a compelling narrative that captivates hiring managers and dramatically increases your chances of landing your dream UX role.

Watch this interactive session with Xinran Ma, Senior Product Designer from Redfin (who formerly led product design at Michael’s) and the author of The Minimalist Career Changer to understand how to leverage storytelling to create a strong portfolio, save months of your time in the process and have an edge over many other candidates in a competitive job market.
