<aside> ℹ️ Summarise yourself in 1-3 sentences. Think about what you’ve written for your new LinkedIn header. If the recruiter only read this one section, what do they need to know about you?
</aside>
<aside> ℹ️ Only relevant if you’re changing careers, as I was. Here I briefly explained what I did before UX/UI, and named a few landmarks and achievements. Make sure this section helps to build you up as a potential candidate by making the experiences relevant to UX/UI Design. Think of skills required in UX/UI Design e.g. interviewing, copywriting, managing projects. If you did any of it in your pre-UX/UI life, mention it here!
</aside>
<aside> ℹ️ Again, relevant for those career-changers. Your journey into UX/UI Design is very important to communicate and individual to everyone. Think about the section on Discovering Your Voice. What attracted you to UX/UI Design? What was the path? What do you love about it? There is no right or wrong answer here as it’s unique to everyone. Just be honest and open.
</aside>
<aside> ℹ️ The journey into UX/UI is important for the recruiter,. They need to know you are deeply interested. So have a second section to really show off and go deep.
</aside>
<aside> ℹ️ Have some fun here. List around 10 things you love. Recruiters want to know about your personality, so show it off here. Share some humour if you want.
</aside>
<aside> ℹ️ Now 10 things you hate. Again, be yourself. If you want to be clever, include some design-related pet peeves e.g. hidden unsubscribe buttons in emails.
</aside>
<aside> ℹ️ This is optional, but another chance to show off your personality to the recruiter. My recruiter specifically mentioned how she loved this section, so it can get you noticed.
</aside>
<aside> ℹ️ Space to add a few more facts. Can be anything. Favourite book, food, song, movie? Crazy stories? Famous people you’ve met? Have fun.
