<p>Navigating the UX job market has always had its ups and downs, especially with AI reshaping the industry. In this episode, host Laura Klein sits down with Evan Sunwall, NN/G&#39;s Director of Self-Paced Training, to share candid advice for UX practitioners trying to actively job search or level up in today&#39;s competitive market. With nearly 19 years in the field as both a designer and a hiring manager, he has a lot to say about where the field is headed — no matter what stage you&#39;re at in your career.</p><p>That experience is also what shaped Evan&#39;s self-paced course on getting a job in UX, part of NN/G&#39;s new and growing library of practical, pre-recorded courses built around real skill gaps. Evan was one of the first to help develop the format — running experiments and prototypes to figure out what actually works for self-directed learners.</p><p>Evan also previews a companion course aimed at hiring managers and shares that he&#39;s looking for sharp instructors to help expand the library into new topics across research, design, and AI.</p><p>Check out our NEW <a href="https://www.nngroup.com/contents/self-paced-courses/?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sp-launch-push-1">Self-Paced Courses</a>!</p><p><br></p><p>About Evan Sunwall | <a href="https://www.nngroup.com/people/evan-sunwall/">Bio</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/esunwall/">Linkedin</a></p><ul><li><a href="http://nngroup.com/contents/self-paced-courses/successful-ux-job-searching/?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sp-launch-push-1">Successful UX Job Searching (Course)</a></li><li><a href="http://nngroup.com/contents/self-paced-courses/hiring-ux-talent/?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sp-launch-push-1">Hiring UX Talent (Course)</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Free NN/G Articles:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/apply-secure-ux-job/?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sp-launch-push-1">How to Apply and Secure a UX Job</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/advice-ux-job-search/?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sp-launch-push-1">Advice for Approaching a UX Job Search</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/ux-job-seeker-resources/?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sp-launch-push-1">Templates and Tools for UX Job Seekers</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/tactics-ux-job-market/?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sp-launch-push-1">Preparation Tactics for a Tough UX Job Market</a></li><li><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/growing-your-ux-career-study-guide/?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sp-launch-push-1">Growing in Your UX Career: Study Guide</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>Don’t forget to like and subscribe! ❤️</p><p><strong>Follow Us On:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.nngroup.com/articles/subscribe/?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sp-launch-push-1">Newsletter</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nngux/">Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://www.threads.com/@nngux">Threads</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/nielsen-norman-group/">Linkedin</a></p><p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/nngroupux.bsky.social">Bluesky</a></p><p><a href="https://x.com/NNgroup">X</a></p><p><br></p><p>📹 <strong>Post-production by</strong></p><p>Tiago Pedro (Design Assistant)</p><p>Megan Brown (Social Media Lead)</p><p><br></p><p><strong>TYXU5WMUAXAS8GTC</strong></p>
