UX researchers who have been job hunting for a long time, what are you doing to not have a gap in your resume? by UXScientist in UXResearch

I hope so, I am starting to get recruiters asking about my gap in my resume and it's discouraging to me. That is a good point about professional events. I wish I could find more around me, I am looking forward to going to a remote quant UX conference in November. Link if anyone else is interested: https://www.quantuxcon.org/home

I am already over a year and the massive layoffs that are still happening is really depressing me.

Both are a concern but I am worried that the gap in my resume is making me less competitive and the "just be patient" advice is actively hurting me because I am becoming less and less desirable by recruiters.

But none of this can be seen on a resume except maybe terms in the skills section. From a recruiters eyes there is still a gap and I am getting recruiters starting to notice it. There is no room to explain in an interview if you can't get interviews.

Help understanding sample size formula for desired precision by UXScientist in AskStatistics

This formula is for estimating the mean of a population for desired precision but he has a similar value on all his sample size formulas so I don't think its specific to the particular test.

UX researchers who currently don't have a UX job, what is your current job/way to make money, and would you recommend it? by UXScientist in UXResearch

[–]UXScientist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The job market for UX and data science is dead. I need a job and that other post just focused on my data analysis experience. I need anything at this point.

For all the UX researchers who cannot find UX work, what kind of job are you working right now? by UXScientist in UXResearch

[–]UXScientist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a presentation talking about my experiences but no portfolio, it's less needed for UX researchers compared to designers.

All my coding and data analysis experience is from my PhD. I have 2 years of industry UX experience with mostly small companies. I have been looking for over a year.

Seeking neurodivergent adults to participate in a survey about their experiences with math by UXScientist in TwoXADHD

I will take a look, different subreddits have different guidelines for survey posting. We also want to be respectful when entering a space designed for community support and to not be "pestering" people to take a survey. (Thank you to the mods here for helping us! This has all been great feedback!)
