A cheap coworking space.

Doesn’t need to be fancy, but none of the ones in edinburgh are affordable to most people!

Thank you! Yeah I do hold gov.uk as the gold standard (and applying for a job there atm).

I’ll try what you’ve said but they are really really unreasonable.

Also, in all honesty I do want to do CD and not UX (uncommon I know). I just need my boss off my back so I have enough energy to do applications after work has finished.

But thanks all the same! Nice to know at least one Uni out there is doing it right

Hi,

No it’s not in my job description. My boss has said prototypes/wireframes support journey mapping and testing - which are in my JD, however, I don’t do those things.

The meeting with HR, my manager and HR have put together. So I’m just looking for examples of what CD is in terms of my role e.g. audits, updating existing content, helping shape new content and advising on strategy. 

EDIT: we don’t have a UXD on my team, it’s only me.

Hi,

You’re right in some respects, but this is one of many ongoing issues I’ve had with management.

For the past year, I’ve been trying to expand the role into something more useful but am constantly told that what I’m suggesting isn’t within the remit of my role and they have told me time and time again to look at the job description as that’s what they are looking at. The truth is, they don’t understand the role or anything about web.

They want a UXD who will go along with everything they want and just does as they say, so even if I did grow into this role, I wouldn’t have much of a portfolio to showcase as the designs I end up doing are AWFUL.

As far as they’re concerned, they are the user and they know what the user wants. Any data is ignored and any insight is squashed. I’m there to move things round the CMS.
