Week 9 Review: Platform Roadmap and Updates, Weekly Digest

Aloha, friends!

This week I’ve been doing some thinking and laid out a few items I will be working on in the upcoming weeks.

• Talent List: already started collecting profiles (link below 👇), working on adding the directory of profiles to the platform next.
• Resources: some time ago, I had a collection of curated resources related to getting a job in UX, planning to add these to the platform.
• Courses: some time ago, I created an email course to help people get hired with a smarter way, planning to publish it here, too.
• Podcast: some time ago, I had a podcast on UX Career, planning to add it here, too.
• Companies: I’ve been compiling the list of companies who allow remote work AND hire UX/Product Designers, planning to publish it here, too.
• Community: this is a very big unknown for me at the moment. Too many ideas, not enough time. Thinking about how the UX Remotely community could look like and be valuable.

🙋‍♂️ Question for you

Remote work tip

Take walks if you can, have a non video call? Walk around the area. Or try and find a calm place outside to take it. It does wonders. Or just straight up stop going on camera and get outside even in winter it’s nice.
