How can you find UX jobs that align with what you're looking for? Where do companies post to try and find UX candidates? How can you stand out to UX recruiters and hiring managers when you do apply? In this UX hiring manager interview, Sarah Doody chats with McLean Donnelly the Director of UX at Shopify.
As of Q4 2021, Shopify is planning to hire 100 UX professionals this quarter alone! And Shopify is a remote company!
McLean is involved in the real-life UX hiring process at Shopify and provides insights into:
✔️ How Shopify finds UX candidates
✔️ What UX candidates can do to stand out
✔️ Why tailoring your UX portfolio and resume to the role is crucial
✔️ The importance of a cover letter
✔️ How you, as the candidate, can meet the needs of your "users" (aka the recruiters, hiring managers, etc).
This video will help you understand what UX hiring managers look for when you apply and how you can stand out as a UX candidate.

ABOUT SARAH DOODY
For the last 6 years, I’ve supported hundreds of individuals in getting clear on their personal career roadmap and developing the materials and skills to effectively sell the most important product you’ll ever work on, Product of You … which is also the name of my upcoming book!
In 2021 I founded a program called Career Strategy Lab where my team and I support UX and product people to become confident candidates by teaching them how to create career materials that stand out in a crowded sea of applicants and develop their communication skills to help them move through the interview process without playing the numbers game of applying to hundreds of jobs like throwing spaghetti at the wall.
