User Experience Professionals Association (UXPA), NJ chapter

Please join us for small group portfolio reviews, designed for Rutgers University students, and also those interested in having their portfolios reviewed by a UX professional. Anyone studying to be in the UX field, or already in the field, is welcome to participate. Spaces are limited, so early registration is encouraged. There will be a wait list.

As in the past, we have enrolled a great team of reviewers. They are eager to provide you with useful and actionable feedback. We look forward to hearing their suggestions and recommendations. Please read their biographies below and see for yourself.

Here's the plan: Attendees will prepare their portfolios in advance and have the link to their portfolio ready for sharing at the start of the event. After welcomes and introductions, etc., attendees will be assigned to a small group of at least three people, plus at least one of our expert reviewers. During the first hour, we anticipate three portfolio reviews, each one twenty minutes in length. After the first round/hour, resources permitting, our reviewers may review two additional portfolios, which will take approximately forty minutes (twenty minutes each). Following the shorter, second round, we'll all get back together in the main room, share closing remarks and observations, and close out the event.

Note: Be prepared to answer a few questions about your portfolio, even before the reviewer takes a look at it. For example, your reviewer may ask you about the job title you are seeking to fill, and how many years of related experience you have. Being prepared to answer these questions ahead of time will assist your reviewer, and will help ensure that you get the most value out of the experience.
