Want to nail your next job interview? Join us on Aug 27 for Research Crit feat. special guest Faith McGee


Hey Reader,

​

Big news! Our next UX Outloud Research Crit is happening on Tuesday, August 27 (5:30–7pm PT) and we’ve got a very special guest joining us.

​

​Faith McGee, Sr. AI/Analytics Research Manager and a leading voice in neuroinclusion and inclusive design.

​

Here is why I could not think of a better person to join us this month:

​
​
✨ She knows interviews inside and out.

Faith has built and led research teams at EA, Meta, CrowdStrike, and more. She has sat on both sides of the table and knows exactly what stands out in interviews and portfolios.

​

✨ She brings expertise on inclusive research and neurodiversity. From Grace Hopper to UXDX to Quant Con, Faith has taught thousands of people how to use AI and research to design products that work for everyone. Her perspective will help you think about how to tell your own story in ways that are authentic and impactful in the age of AI.

​

✨ She connects research to business outcomes.

Faith’s work is all about turning insights into strategy and measurable growth. And in an interview, that is exactly the skill that helps you shine.


This month’s Research Crit is all about interview prep and career storytelling during one of the busiest hiring seasons of the year.

With Faith in the mix, you will walk away with insider advice on how to:

  • Communicate your impact clearly
    ​
  • Showcase your unique strengths with confidence
    ​
  • Approach interviews like the pro you are becoming
    ​

Inside every Research Crit you can also:

​
βœ… Share your work in progress and get actionable feedback
βœ… Learn from others’ examples and questions
βœ… Build confidence in your career story
βœ… Expand your network with people who truly get it

​

This is your chance to learn directly from someone who has not only hired and managed research teams, but has also made her mark on the biggest stages in our industry.

​

You do not want to miss this one!
​

​

I hope to see you there πŸ’›
