Ask the UXperts: What’s Wrong With Your Portfolio — with Joe Natoli

If there’s anyone that knows how to build a good portfolio it’s Joe Natoli and that’s not just because he’s been in this game for a while.

Joe’s recent series of workshops called Give Good Portfolio were focused on teaching aspiring UXers to build the kind of competitive, effective, impactful UX portfolio that recruiters, employers and prospective clients want to see.

We love Joe because he is full of practical takeaways and actionable advice. If you’re struggling to convert your job interviews or you have questions about the best way to present your work, this is the session for you.

The Details

• Where: Our dedicated ‘Ask the UXperts’ Slack channel (You’ll need to request an invitation if you haven’t yet joined our Slack channel)
• When: 3pm Wednesday 27 Sept PDT or 8am Thursday 28 Sept AEST (or find out what time that is for you)

Meet Joe Natoli

Joe Natoli has been preaching and practicing the gospel of User and Customer Experience to Fortune 100, 500 and Government organizations for nearly three decades.

Joe devotes half of his practice to writing, coaching, and speaking. From guiding students at the beginning of their careers to integrating UX into the work of seasoned veteran developers and designers, he is immensely passionate about the inherent power of UX and design.

The remaining half of Joe’s practice is dedicated to training Enterprise Design and Development teams, helping them integrate best practices in UX into their product development efforts.

Joe runs a series of workshops called Give Good Portfolio. Keep your eyes peeled for his upcoming course on the same subject.

How to Ask Your Questions

If you can’t make the live session but have questions, we’d love to collect them ahead of time and we’ll ask Joe on your behalf. You can ask them in the comments below. We’ll publish the responses (along with the full transcript) in the days following the session.

Here are a few questions to get you started:

1. What do employers and clients really want from a portfolio?
2. How much damage can a bad portfolio do?
3. Should I include all my projects in my portfolio, even if they’re not well documented?

How does Ask the UXperts work?

These sessions run for approximately an hour and best of all, they don’t cost a cent. We use a dedicated public Slack channel. That means that there is no audio or video, but a full transcript will be posted up on here in the days following the session.
