A resume is typically one page with work history, brief summary of skills and education. A c v equals curriculum viti - that's latin for course of life. Here's the challenge, do both a c v and a resume, and do it on one page. What i've done with mine is i've actually put acolades on the left. Those are podcast episodes published articles on prominent blogs. And what that does is just gives you that wal factor for recruiters to go, oh, whill cool. This person has done some things."

This is the last episode of 2021. After nearly two years of outlining the content for this episode and nearly two months (at time of writing) of recording and editing, here's everything I know (so far) on landing a job in UX. I hope this content is not only useful to you and anyone you know looking to land their first (or next) job in UX, but I sincerely hope this episode is greatly inspirational and even life-changing for you. I forgot to say it at the end of the episode, so Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Joyous New Year dear Defenders! Take care of yourself and each other, and I'll see you on the other side of this year with more amazing UX/Design content! 👊 Jason.
