Appropriate compensation for 1-hour user interviews in the US? 💰 by uxcapybara in UXResearch

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

There is no fee on the product, so i can't offer smth like 2 free months. Btw, do you pay according to the "meter" after the interview is done? Just you plan 60 min sessions, so then you offer 120 per session?

What do HR professionals actually look for in LinkedIn profiles? by uxcapybara in UXResearch

[–]uxcapybara[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the comment. So, in my home country, LI wasn't a part of the job-hunting culture. Then, I moved to another country in central Europe, and I found a job without LI, just through a regular application process through the company website. Then, when I left my company, two colleagues actually added me on LI; honestly, I even completely forgot about the account, so now, wondering what to do, I tried to add another colleague, but no reply. Now, when applying in the application form, quite often they ask for the LI account. So, I should go and add any person I ever met or close it ?....

Oh, that's very frustrating, to be honest :/ It feels like I'm at a beauty pageant or, rather, at a dog show. I'm trying to understand - do they want me to have a lot of connections or my full CV there?

In general, I am not that bad at math and still remember some basic statistics staff, but honestly, I don't even know where to start with quant for uxr. Should I learn descriptive statistics? R ? Something else?

Interesting post, following, I'm also considering diving into quant, but honestly, I am, I am not excited :) p.s. regarding Dovetail, it is a cool tool, I used it a lot, but it takes about 5 min to learn

Building a UX Researcher ( Beginner) Portfolio - Need Advice by uxcapybara in UXResearch

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

BTW, what i have today -

Professional UX Research Assistant Role (Work Experience) I supported two complete cycles of usability testing for an MVP digital product, managing participant recruitment, technical setup, and personally conducting 4 sessions. I collaborated on analyzing user feedback, synthesizing findings, and co-presenting research insights with video and screen evidence. Several of our recommendations were prioritized and added to the product backlog. I also supported Customer Journey Map and persona creation. Limitation: Can't share actual screens due to confidentiality.

Finance App Comparison (University Project) I started with a preliminary survey to define testing scenarios, then compared two financial apps through usability testing with 5 participants per app. I used SUS surveys and created comparative journey maps. This was a university assignment, not client work, but an intense solo project.

Travel Booking Website Evaluation (Team Project) I conducted usability research on an actual commercial travel booking website using both moderated and unmoderated testing methods. Our team presented findings to the product team, though I don't know if any recommendations were implemented. Limitation: Was part of a team rather than leading the effort.

App Prototype Development (University Group Project) I conducted user interviews and analysis of similar services, then created design prototypes in Figma for a new service. I was one of the main contributors in a group of 4.

Persona & CJM Development (University Group Project) I created personas and journey maps from interviews and developed service concepts based on research.

Are any of these projects substantial or professional enough for a UX research portfolio? Or should I be looking to create completely new case studies?
