Using Social Networking in the Job SearchDavid Swinney
This is a high level, non-technical presentation targeted at those who need/want to be convinced that social networking and social media is a necessary component of the job search process. It includes links to a large number of resources that job seekers - including C-level executives - can use to establish and leverage their social media presence.
Emerging Social Media for Job Seekers: Trends and Appsbroegge
Social media is quickly becoming an integral part of the job search. One recent survey by Jobvite found that 89% of employers expect to use social media when recruiting candidates. So as a job seeker, how can you stay on top of things? This presentation discusses anticipated social media trends for 2012 and how job seekers can use the newest social media tools to brand themselves, network, get organized, and display online portfolios.

Co-presented by Jackie Buck and Brooke Roegge at the Job Seeker Counselor Conference in Brainerd, MN on March 27, 2012.
An overview to social networking sites & their usage for job search. The target audience for this presentation are individuals in career transition or newcomers to Canada - most without profiles on social networking sites.
Although this has been delivered as a workshop - it is best delivered as a series with both classroom and computer instruction time. Please contact me at socialwisdom.ca for more information.
This 6-hour workshop is based on using LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. The trainer\'s guide is in the notes pages. I switch among it and the websites to demonstrate what I\'m describing.
In today's competitive market, it's important college students (and all of those on the hunt for a job!) to perfect their online image, especially with social media. Here are some tips about what to do and what NOT to do. Enjoy!
"Mantras of startups: "fail fast", "move fast and break things", "keep shipping" - these are all great slogans, but unknown to many - these are really all about learning. It's about getting things in front of your customers early, and often. Watching - and learning. Finding what ideas were not quite as brilliant as you once thought - and finding this out as fast and cheap as possible.
How are modern product teams making this happen? Where does User Experience and customer research fit in this model? Taking from Agile, Lean, and User Centered Design - this talk will go over the build-measure-learn process, and how you can start to shape your organization to move fast, without leaving your customers behind."
Top Trends In Product Design: Outcomes, Understanding Customers, and Building...Jeremy Johnson
While some organizations are still grappling with moving to Agile or hiring their first UX Designer, others are moving fast to embrace methods that have been proven to generate success. Are you still creating product roadmaps? Are you investing in understanding your customers? Are your technology platforms built for experimentation? Come hear how organizations are achieving success, and how you can help your organization move in the right direction.

Game On: Everything you need to know about how games are changing the worldJeremy Johnson
Gaming is at a tipping point, never before have games effected our day-to-day lives in such a substantial way. From entertaining yourself on the subway with Angry Birds, to solving the world's greatest problems - gaming is quickly becoming a mainstream way to explore, communicate, connect, and work.
With "Game On" Jeremy Johnson will take you on a tour of gaming trends - which includes everyone's favorite gaming buzz words: gamification, gameful, game layer, gamestorming, game mechanics, gameplay, game theory and good old video games. How's that for a extra helping of games? Let's top it off with a Call of Duty deathmatch - who's game?
This presentation was given at Big Design 2011 in Dallas Texas. #bigd11
Putting the "User" back in User ExperienceJeremy Johnson
If you ask a organization "Are you customer centric?" - of course they say "yes", but as you peel back the layers too many organizations have teams of people building products - and the user is nowhere in sight. This talk will go over a number of ways to include users in your product design process, from start to finish. It's time we truly live up to the term "User Experience".
Starting in 2005 when returning from SXSWi a coworker and I would put together a trends presentation talking about up-and-coming technologies, patterns, websites, etc... and 2008 is no different. The presentations keep getting longer and longer, as innovation keeps building on the previous year, moving faster and faster. This year my co-presenter was Dustin Askins of Travelocity, and we gave the presentation internally to our UX groups, and just this week at the Dallas UPA Chapter.
As Android gains ground, iOS may not be enough for some brands. And with limited budgets and development constraints, sometimes you can't give your app the full "Android Treatment" it should deserve. I've put together a mini guide to go over some common ways to get your iOS app over to Android, while keeping it consistent (mostly) with today's Android patterns.
As a Designer, I sometimes need to evaluate different technologies and platforms from a Designer's perspective. Why is it important to get a Designer's view? As Designers we can quickly be boxed in with inflexible UI layers, unusable sets of standard patterns, and the inability to create a great experience. By reviewing and testing, we can determine the pros and cons of a given technology solution. In honor of Eclipsecon 2008 ;-) I've put together a presentation on a popular application platform - the Eclipse RCP.

If you're an Interaction Designer, I'm sure you've noticed a new design pattern in the past year - one that doesn't really seem to have a proper name yet. In fact, you're probably already incorporating this pattern into your designs. It seems like almost every major redesign is leveraging this pattern to help hide complexity: Amazon, Linkedin, TripAdvisor - and sites like Target, Google, and Yahoo have been using it for awhile. It's a design pattern I'm calling "reveling interfaces".

Last week me and Stephen Thomas presented to our company's UXC Luncheon. This is a quarterly event open to all the different User Experience groups in the company. Our topic was upcoming trends in Design and technology. This is actually the fifth time I've presented a presentation like this one, starting back in 2005. While some trends are still developing, there are some new and interesting things that will shape the years to come.
Kinect is moving from a gaming device to a new way to interact with our digital world. While touch has taken a disproportional amount of our attention, we're seeing a flood of devices that use sensors to collect feedback from the world around us. And the Kinect is the mother of all sensors with a high visual resolution, audio, and advances in areas like face detection - how would our would look if we focused on gesture and sensor designs?
Ready to go Mobile? Today's Mobile Landscape: Responsive, Adaptive, Hybrid, a...Jeremy Johnson
There are a number of options when going mobile, and it's not slowing down. Why choose one over the other? What are the strengths and pitfalls? What's right for your customers and users? We'll go over each option, with examples of how you can come to the right strategy around your mobile offerings.
Many people still don’t understand the different roles we play as Designers. Some people think “Visual Design”, while others think “HTML Coders”. “Web Designer” is a term that should only be used to describe what you do to your grandparents.
While in the past we’ve had distinct roles, the trend is to move towards “User Experience”, someone who understands many different aspects of the design and development process.
Putting the "User" back in User Experience (Dallas Techfest Edition)Jeremy Johnson
If you ask an organization "Are you customer centric?" - of course they say "yes", but as you peel back the layers too many organizations have teams of people building software - and the user is nowhere in sight. This talk will go over a number of ways to include users in your product design process, from start to finish. It's time we truly live up to the term "User Experience".
My presentation at the recent Open Camp in Dallas, TX
Is your content ready to go mobile? Is your audience spending more time viewing your site on their iPhone then a desktop? If they're not, they will be soon. Mobile is exploding, and to make sure your message is getting across to the largest audience, you need to make sure you're giving mobile user the best experience. Jeremy will go over tips, tricks, examples - along with some easy ways to get your site ready for a mobile audience.
The Mobile Question: Lessons in Design and Strategy for Your Mobile ExperienceJeremy Johnson
Earlier this month I gave a presentation at the 2010 IA Summit in Phoenix, AZ on Mobile Strategy. I'm happy to say it was well attended, and everyone had lots of good questions. In the presentation I went over a method to determine where you should spend your time "going mobile". For some it's an app, others it's a site - where others should be focusing on Blackberry vs an iPhone (or vice-versa). Hopefully I made everything a little less confusing, and gave everyone the information needed to make an informed roadmap to move forward.
People, who did not grow up in the Internet Age are often afraid to use Social Media in their Job Search. They either do not know enough about; can't see how it applies to finding a job; and often just plain fear it. This presentation is very basic and addresses most of these concerns. It's just enough, but not too much for older workers to understand and manage.

Businesses Want Results, Not Empathy Maps — #cxtalks Dallas 10 minute talkJeremy Johnson
While design is becoming ever more important in the business world, we’re at a crossroads where if we can't connect customer understanding to actionable themes or business results we’re going to lose our seat at the table. Customer Experience professionals need to become masters at blending customer, business, and technology to give teams a clear path ahead.
Key Takeaways
1. CX Pros need to get really good at understanding design, business AND technology
2. CX Pros need to get good at connecting customer insights to tangible features and products
3. CX Pros need to help design teams connect to business teams in an effective way
UX Design, Friend of Foe #worldusabilitydayJeremy Johnson
We’ve all heard stories of how UX has been used for good, but what happens when it backfires, or worse, is purposely used for evil? UX Designers have the power to entice and motivate you in a number of directions — and while maybe not always purposefully evil, the effects can be the same. This talk will go over examples of good and evil UX — so you know what to avoid in the future!
Product + UX: How to combine strengths to make something truly great! *Updated*Jeremy Johnson
*Updated version for Vista UX Conference Keynote* With modern organizations finally starting to embrace User Experience as part of their product teams, and product leaders moving to more strategic roles within these teams, how can we combine the strengths of both roles to make something truly great?
Including the User: How insights drive business #pswud2017Jeremy Johnson
Design is inclusive by nature. The ability to understand people, their needs, and emotions throughout a journey is what User Experience Designers excel at! That said, many organizations still need that nudge to really get out build true empathy for the people they’re building tools, systems, and apps for. This talk will help you ramp up with modern best practices in insights gathering, while helping you build the case to invest in user understanding through showcasing the value to both your business and your brand.

User Experience has a direct impact on your bottom line, and it’s about time we start telling execs in their own language. I’m sure many of you spend a good amount of time evangelizing what it is that you do, and the value it adds. Over the past 15 years I’ve introduced User Experience to everyone from CEOs to developers — using storytelling, metrics, and case studies you can prove without a doubt the value that you bring.
In this talk I’ll explain what metrics to track, how to position your work, and stories where User Experience directly effected the bottom line.

As a product owner or manager how should you be using your User Experience team? In this quick talk I go over the top three ways to use your UX team to support you in building better products.
There are key things that will give you a much better chance at success. While these are well documented in numerous books, articles, and videos - there are still many stakeholders that don't subscribe to some basic truths, like: product decisions should be based on evidence, or having dedicated UX Designers on product teams.
Jeremy will go over his top ten questions to ask any team to see if they're heading toward launching a great product experience.

Failing Fast & Learning Along the Way - Big Design 2013Jeremy Johnson
Mantras of startups: "fail fast", "move fast and break things", "keep shipping" - these are all great slogans, but unknown to many - these are really all about learning. It's about getting things in front of your customers early, and often. Watching - and learning. Finding what ideas were not quite as brilliant as you once thought - and finding this out as fast and cheap as possible.
How are modern product teams making this happen? Where does User Experience and customer research fit in this model? Taking from Agile, Lean, and User Centered Design - this talk will go over the build-measure-learn process, and how you can start to shape your organization to move fast, without leaving your customers behind.
This talk was given at Big Design 2013 #bigd13
Early on as a Designer I had the privilege to work with some big brands, like: Verizon, Mission Foods, Nokia, and Sabre. Most of my projects were rooted in web applications. Which I loved, and was more than happy to work on as a UX Designer. But some designers took other paths, working on e-commerce sites, or perhaps lead generation. What has been hard to find recently is someone who's done both. I know I didn't know e-commerce to the degree I needed to when starting at GameStop - but learned quickly - luckily I've had some good teachers over the last couple of years.
Now talking about channels, bounce rate, A/B testing, conversion, SEM/SEO in the norm. And as I loved designing applications, I find equal interest in what makes people shop and (hopefully) eventually buy.
I recently gave this short presentation to a group of designers - a 101 on getting your interface to sell
Android vs iPhone - Differences in UI Patterns and DesignJeremy Johnson
While using Android over the past couple of weeks i’ve noticed some things when comparing my top apps to iOS. Both iOS and Android, in different cases, choose different UI elements to do different things. I wanted to catalog some of them here.
Overall I’d say that mainstream Android apps have improved over time, and in many cases (Spotify, Evernote, NPR, and Amazon) I liked the Android versions better. Also with design trends moving to blocky designs and flat colors (like Windows 8) - Android looks more modern in a side-by-side comparison to its iOS counterpart.
If anything this shows that there are very few standard patterns that are used 100% of the time on each OS, but there is risk of confusion from someone expecting one thing - like they have an iPad tablet, but an Android phone - and getting different results when switching between devices.
Fail Fast, Learn Fast, Move Fast: My UX journey to move fasterJeremy Johnson
We've all heard about the Lean Startup, and now Lean UX. This is a intro into how I've been using these methods to speed up the UX process, and work better within product teams.
Designing for Sensors & the Future of ExperiencesJeremy Johnson
Are you ready for the next ten years? Wireframes and prototypes may not be enough. Jeremy will take you on a tour of what Design problems of the future look like, from designing for sensors to walls of screens.
With the advent of sensor-based technology, we are designing more for gestures and voice commands. How do we interact in space without tactile feedback? How do we design for universal gestures?What does a future full of screens and software look like? When everything is an interface, and hardware disappears - and what are the tools and methods to tackle this design problems?

9. Story #1
One woman has felt job security after 5 years as an employee of a company.
While working at this company, she decided that networking events were a waste
of time and that meeting people inside their company was the path to career
advancement. She had very little experience with the internet and got her current
job through an old friend she doesn’t speak with anymore. She had a great
relationship with her group members and executive management...
http://personalbrandingblog.wordpress.com/2008/12/08/the-real-way-to-get-a-job-using-social-media-revealed/
10. Story #2
Another woman is doing great at work. She’s only been there for a year, but she’s
worked really hard to not only build relationships throughout the company, not
just her own domain, but also outside of work. In the past year, she started a
blog, went to professional networking events, signed up for social networks and
kept in close contact with many of her friends of the past. She also was smart
enough to gain new skills in her field, which led to her becoming the go-to-person
in her company. She worked for an additional hour or two each day, making a
strong case for why she should be working there....
http://personalbrandingblog.wordpress.com/2008/12/08/the-real-way-to-get-a-job-using-social-media-revealed/
11. Story #2 (after a layoff)
She remains confident (career commander) and sends out a Tweet that says
“Just got laid off, looking for an internet marketing job in San Francisco.” She
also sends an email to her email list of 400 that she had built up and starts
sending nice notes to her Facebook network. She also blogs about her experience
getting laid off and ends by talking about the jobs she’s be looking for, with a link
to her LinkedIn resume. She also sends a note to her LinkedIn database of
contacts and asks the people she worked with for references for the great job she
had done. She ended up finding a job within 2 months.

13. To get a job...
» Do you need to be on Social Networking sites?
» Do you need to be actively promoting yourself?
» Do you need a website?
» Do you need to be seen as an expert in your field?
» Should you be easily accessible online?
» Should you be easy to find online?
» Should you stand out?
21. “Welcome to the well-connected recession. As economic woes deepen and more people
compete for fewer jobs, personal introductions to potential employers are more important
than ever. Millions of Americans are turning to social networking sites such as LinkedIn,
which has 37 million members, to seek an edge in landing work.”
http://articles.latimes.com/2009/mar/30/business/fi-linkedin30
22. Quick
Social Networking TIPS
1. Choose a professional username (example: “jeremyjohnson”)
2. Sign up for mainstream and industry related sites
3. Update profiles on all sites, with matching photo, bio, etc...
4. Repurpose your social content on your blog/website
5. Keep it business, your online persona should be ready to get a
job, not go out and party (unless that’s the job description)
6. Post, post, post...
27. Quick
Promote yourself TIPS
1. Don’t be shy when talking about yourself
2. More “I did this...”, less “I’m so awesome...” ;-)
3. List out events - work, volunteering, clubs, etc...
4. Link to where you’ve been mentioned online
35. Quick
Online Presence TIPS
1. Create a centralize location (www.name.com) that links off to
all your profiles, sites, and other web content.
2. Use free resources, there is no need to have a site custom
designed (unless your loaded!)
3. Promote your sites everywhere
37. Given the choice – who would you rather hire?
» Person A who has a fantastic resume and great references on
paper, but nothing else notable.
» Person B who has all that, but also has a blog and has gathered a
crowd of a few hundred subscribers and several thousand
visitors per month (or more) writing intelligently and poignantly
on the industry they are involved in.
It is pretty clear between these two who has true
passion for what they do and would make real
difference in bringing an organization forward.
