Episode notes

Pay for relocation up front. Don't rely on the person you're hiring to take care of it and submit all the paperwork later. It's not going to happen, right? If I'm earning a salary that is like, I don't know, $1,500 a month, I'm never going to be able to raise that money. Or I say this as an older white dude: Not very good in terms of hiring diversity in terms of age.

I had the great honor of being invited back to An Event Apart Denver (2019) to record a live podcast episode with Mina Markham, Farai Madzima, & Derek Featherstone on the important topics of Accessibility, Design Inclusion & Ethics, Hiring & Retaining Diverse Talent and Landing a Job in UX. Amazingly, we were able to cover all of this in just under an hour!
