Andrew N. Asked: 💬
I’ve been applying to a bunch of UX Writing internships. Any specific tips for standing out during future interviews?
Thanks guys!
A tip we sourced from a long-time UX Writer is to use storytelling to both standout and leverage past experiences you may not have mentioned otherwise 👇
Make a list of all your past experiences and what you did in them
Consider how you can take one/few of them and weave them into a story that applies to what they’re looking for in a unique way
Example: You were a stage hand for your college’s theater program
You learned how to handle ambiguity in the process, to creatively problem-solve in the moment, and work with a project manager and a team of creatives.
Express how these skills are similar to UX Writing and how you would carry them over—but not by listing them as facts but through a concise story that shows a little bit of your personality.
Beat the system. Get seen. Land an offer.
That resume you sent? Yeah, it might not have made it past ATS. 😬
Computer applicant tracking systems scan and rank your resume—basically gatekeeping whose resume is seen by a human.
So you have to write your resume for the system. And who better to help you do that than an AI?
