Free Community Videoconference: Layoffs

November 15, 2-3pm ET Register to attend via Zoom.

A recent wave of layoffs has left some very talented UX professionals unemployed and many others feeling anxious. Given that research and design are often among those functions cut early and deeply, that anxiety is reasonable. For the next installment of Rosenfeld’s Advancing Research Community call, we’re going to focus on layoffs—what to do if you’re worried, how to implement a strategy in preparation for potential job loss, and what to do if it happens to you. Join us for a Q&A with Career Strategist & Coach Amy Santee, and Corey Nelson, UX Design Manager and host of UX+1, a career coaching podcast.

November 15, 2-3pm ET Register to attend via Zoom.

About our speakers:

Corey Nelson is a 15 year design professional, with the last 12 of those years being dedicated exclusively to UX. He’s worked in a range of industries from large banks and insurance companies to small FinTech firms and video game studios. Today he’s a UX Design Manager for the largest managed health care company in the US. Outside of his day job, he’s a career coach for UX designers. He doesn’t teach design, he teaches designers how to get jobs.

Despite the serious nature of most of his work, Corey is a very easy-going guy with a great ear for listening. He doesn’t watch much TV but if he is, it’s probably cartoons.
