Pro tips for job seekers: the UX UI edition
As we continue to dive into insights from Lorien subject matter experts, we’ll share valuable information from staffing and recruiting leaders who are building world-class IT talent communities for our clients and attracting Software Engineering, Program and Product Management, Data, User Experience (UX), User Interface (UI), and Quality Assurance (QA) specialists for competitive, niche, and developing markets.
Lorien Technical Recruiter, Katherine Tarazona, is a specialist in placing UX/UI pros. As an expert, and in today’s competitive IT talent landscape, Katherine believes that candidates should consider a job description a “wish list,” as many employers are flexible when it comes to education and experience. Progressive hiring managers recognize the value in certifications, Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) degrees and digital badges, and the importance of transferrable skills. Candidates that may have been overlooked in the past may now be viable applicants in today’s world of work.
