Any advice for being invited to interview for UX positions? I recently left my job and I’ve been applying for a month now and haven’t heard back from anyone. I know it’s the time of year but wanted to hear if any other designers have any advice. Thank you!

Super helpful! I’ll start being more ambitious in what I’m applying for. Thanks for the feedback!!

Your resume is very thorough and it looks like you have a lot of marketable skills. A few things that immediately stand out to me are:
1. Remove Architectual consultant or move it to the bottom of the resume. It obscures the focus of your resume. If you are seeking ux design jobs, your resume needs to exclusively mention design.
2. There are way too many bullet points. Choose your top 3-4 points that market your personal brand. Your resume should demonstrate the qualities that make you uniquely qualified for the roles you are applying to.
3. Have some fun with the design. Give it some color, personality and flare.

I'd be happy to network and give you some more useful tips.

Did you have a career coach or resume writer look over your documents?

I think this + the advice UR1 gave will put you in the best position~

Recently I got invited to an interview with a decent growing company. I work in Executive Search and I am thinking of switching to in-house recruiting. During the conversation the recruiter made some weird assumptions about my current job. The interview took longer than expected and I feel like I have not delivered well. Was I wrong to expect in-house recruiter to understand the differences and similarities between in-house-recruiting, professional search and retained executive search?

I was offered $42k plus bonuses at the interview, but when called back I was offered $44.5k plus bonuses. I already accepted. Did I leave money on the table here?
