Who also believes the UX Design hiring process is broken?

There is new talent out there THIRSTY to sink their teeth into problems to solve.

It's not about experience. It's about giving opportunity to who wants it.

I save the napkins for someday to create a life raft out of them

Wellll, now I’m on X/Twitter catching up on all the gossip

[Kris @Vlayer123]

I’ve watched three seasons of @ABCSharkTank and the entrepreneurs that migrated to the United States have all one thing in common. They saw their “parents work 2-3 jobs” and they learned the value of “hard work”. It’s a comment theme resonates to me. #AsianAmerican #designer

These layoffs are mental health killers

[Kris @Vlayer123]

The layoffs that happen in tech this week is gut wringing. To my fellow designers that was impacted please reach out and for the design community —let’s help each other find new design homes for our fellow designers. #tech #design

Any remote designers have a go to headphone they are using that they love? I’m looking something to jam out and use it for virtual meetings. #designer #headphones

You can feel how the United States is feeling through every social media outlet. Oh, anxiety!

[Kris @Vlayer123]

What a day. Why does a small group of people make decisions for millions of women. Gut wrenching.

[Kris @Vlayer123]

The hiring process is forever broken for designers. Does anyone know a company that has a unique hiring process? Or everyone still does the resume/apply model? #hiring #recruitment #design

@darylginn Doing workshops and thinking North Star work but you know in the back of your head everything will be ‘backlogged’ or done minimally

[Kris @Vlayer123]

All of these layoffs on LinkedIn is gut wrenching 😭

[Kris @Vlayer123]

Some times you just need to go back to the basics with UX. Making boxes, squiggly lines and arrows. #ux #design

Happy Pride you amazing humans 🌈

@SebastianCroft @NetflixUK @PrideInLondon @PrideBrighton I will fly out to see this 🙌🏼

What in your opinion is the most important soft skill for any designer?

[Kris @Vlayer123]

@femkesvs Authenticity and empathy. Get to know the team that is going to help you. If you know their story, passions and motivations — the work is going to come to life.

[Kris @Vlayer123]

I wonder if there are therapists who were ex-designers. I’d love to talk to you.

@joelocke03 This is a good gay crisis!

[Kris @Vlayer123]

Going under the knife today to see better. The hours of screen time I’ve done in the past 2 years has worn my poor eyes out! Hoping for a quick recovery. 👀

[Kris @Vlayer123]

The job application process is broken. The bias that a resume and LinkedIn gives is making it challenging for others. Can hiring managers and recruiters just talk to people first before they judge them?
