In this special Ask Me Anything format we cover some of the most useful soft skills for a career in UX writing, hard skills that are transferable from other industries, ideas on how to upskill your UX writing, finding a mentor, and career trajectories for UX writers.My guest is Laura Costantino (they/them), a senior UX writer at Google. For the past 10 years, Laura has worked at the intersection of editorial marketing and strategy. They fully transitioned into UX content about three years ago and now, as someone who went through a career change, Laura is dedicated to helping other people of all backgrounds transition into UX while also being committed to developing content design and strategy as pivotal parts of the UX discipline.Resources<a href="https://amzn.to/3HDGOT3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Strategic Writing for UX, Torrey Podmajersky </a><a href="https://amzn.to/3b3rTW2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Content Strategy for the Web, Kristina Halvorson </a><a href="https://amzn.to/3OaS5g9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Content Strategy Toolkit, Meghan Casey </a><a href="https://workingincontent.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Working in Content </a><a href="https://contentandux.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Content + UX slack </a>Mentoring platforms<a href="https://adplist.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ADP List </a><a href="https://storage.googleapis.com/uxcoffeehours.com/site/index.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UX Coffee Hours </a><a href="https://www.designbuddies.community/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Design Buddies </a><a href="http://hexagonux.com/mentorship" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hexagon Mentorship program </a>Connect with Laura Costantino<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauracostantino/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Linkedin</a><a href="https://www.lauraftw.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a><a href="https://twitter.com/lauracostantino" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>********If you enjoy this podcast, there are some really simple ways you can help us:&nbsp;<ul><li><a href="https://www.twitter.com/uxcake_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">follow us on twitter</a>&nbsp;-&nbsp;like and reshare our posts</li><li><a href="https://uxcake.us18.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=83d885398f6331b7bdd14b33f&id=914d44c342" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">subscribe to the newsletter</a>&nbsp;for updates and bonus content</li><li>share this episode, or any of our episodes, with a friend.&nbsp;</li><li>rate & review us on Apple Podcast or iTunes on desktop!</li></ul>Connect with UX Cake!<ul><li><a href="https://open.acast.com/shows/5a9354b6a5f5bf0c738a8e31/episodes/leigharredondo.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;leigharredondo.com</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/uxcakepodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="https://www.twitter.com/uxcake_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/uxcake/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/uxcake" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Linked In</a></li></ul>Support this show <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="http://supporter.acast.com/uxcake">http://supporter.acast.com/uxcake</a>.<hr> See <a style='color:grey;' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.
