Resume Round-up (Panel and Workshop on Drafting the Best IA Resumés)

Date and time:
April 21, 2007 (Saturday)
10 am - 12 pm

Location:
Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center
4805 Edgemoor Lane
Bethesda, MD 20814

Description:
Information Architecture (IA), Interaction Design, Business Design, and other UX-related disciplines have been coming closer to each other and blurring the lines between disciplines. This has caused confusion in IA’s presenting their work in resumés and employers understanding the language used by IAs. The User Experience Network (UXnet.org), DC-IA, and UPA-DC will facilitate a panel discussion and workshop to help better define the language used by IAs in resumés and clarify to employers what that language means. BRING YOUR RESUMÉS FOR ONE-ON-ONE FEEDBACK FROM PANELISTS.

This event is co-sponsored by UPA-DC-Metro, DC-IA, IxDA and UX Net

If you are coming north on Wisconsin or west on Rt. 410, take Old Georgetown Road north, turn left at the second traffic light (Woodmont Ave.) and the garage entrance will be on your left (it's the second driveway).
