HOW TO WRITE A COMPELLING CASE STUDY Watch Preview
A step-by-step guide to remove the agony of writing clear, succinct, impactful case studies.
Of all the ingredients you can include in a UX portfolio, none are more important than your case studies.
I can't emphasize this enough: it is mission-critical-important that you tell a compelling story — but this story has to be structured and written in a way where your value to that potential employer is crystal clear.
In a way that assumes no one is going to read every word of what you’ve written.
In a way that respects the fact that recruiters, hiring managers and everyone in the companies they both work for are time-poor.
Just like you, they have far too much to do and very little time to do it in.
In this video series, a companion to my How to Write a Compelling Case Study guidebook, I'm going to walk you through constructing a simple, clear case study that meets all the criteria above.
One that avoids the novel-length approach that's not only a pain in the ass to write, but to read as well :-)
Instead, I'm going to show you how to be clear and concise — and deliver value at every turn.
