About This Class
Learn how to quickly and easily create a professional UX portfolio with user experience designer and author Lisa Murnan.

Welcome to my first class in the How to Get a UX Design Job series.

I chose to tackle UX Portfolios first because these days we all need one to get a job. And we often tend to get stuck in analysis paralysis because creating a portfolio can feel so overwhelming, and we all have a million other things we'd rather be doing.

But guys, you need a UX portfolio. Now. Yesterday! What if your dream job comes knocking on LinkedIn tomorrow? The recruiter or hiring manager will ask you for a copy of your portfolio in their first or second email, I promise. And what they see in that portfolio will determine whether you get an interview or not.

In this 40-minute class, I'm going to show you how to quickly create a PDF portfolio that requires no website, no Behance or Dribbble account, no coding, no hassle. All you'll need is access to a presentation program like Google Slides, PowerPoint or Keynote, or a publishing program like InDesign. You can use whatever you're already comfortable with.

Recruiters and hiring managers are perfectly happy to receive a PDF version of your portfolio (it's easy to email, read and print), and you can always put a copy of it online if you need a URL for your resume, LinkedIn profile or an online job application.

We'll cover:

What recruiters and hiring managers are looking for in a portfolio
How to quickly create a professional-looking template using your favorite presentation program
How to structure your portfolio and case studies
What case studies and images to include
How to customize your portfolio for each job application
What do to about NDA work
How to create a link to your PDF portfolio
Mistakes to avoid
This class is for everyone, whether you're an aspiring UXer or a designer with years of experience. We all need a portfolio!
