The Importance of Confidence in a Career Change

This is a special archived episode of Brave UX.

Amy Santee encourages us to take control of our careers, to take action when we see something that’s not right, and to realise we have more power than we think we do.

Highlights include:

⭐ Are jobs in UX and other ares of HCD bullshit jobs?
⭐ Why did you write and publish your own code of ethics?
⭐ How do you help people to establish useful career goals?
⭐ What should people considering a career change to think about?
⭐ What can people do when they see something that’s not right at work?
