Anfisa: 本期节目探讨如何将个人兴趣和副业技能应用于UX职业发展,并以Ioana的职业经历为例,分析其不同经历(金融、客服、内容创作等)如何提升其设计能力。Anfisa还分享了自己从非设计背景转型UX设计的经验,以及如何将旅行、内容创作、教学等经历转化为UX设计技能,例如提升沟通能力、适应能力以及时间管理能力。 Anfisa建议求职者在个人作品集中突出个人经历,并寻求导师指导,帮助将个人经历与UX设计技能进行有效关联。她还建议通过参与社区活动、黑客马拉松等方式,积累经验,并向他人寻求反馈,从而更好地了解自身优势,并将其应用于UX设计领域。 Ioana: 个人是一个复杂的系统,不同生活领域的技能和经验都会互相影响,并最终体现在设计工作中。Ioana以客服和育儿经历为例,说明如何将这些经验转化为UX设计技能,例如提升倾听能力、提升情绪管理能力和团队协作能力。她还建议求职者通过“我是谁画布”等工具,梳理自身技能,并将其与UX岗位要求进行匹配,并在求职材料中体现这些技能和经验。Ioana强调,许多看似无关的技能都能在理解用户方面有所帮助,UX设计领域包容性强,各种技能都能找到用武之地。
