Welcome to the first session of the online series, we are so glad to have you here!
This event is part of a collaborative initiative created to support individuals who are actively seeking design roles in the UK. Whether you’re just starting out or navigating your next step, our goal is to equip you with the tools, knowledge, and mindset to approach your job search with confidence.
This session is focused on building a strong CV tailored specifically for the UK design job market. We know that applying for roles can be overwhelming, so this session will break things down into clear, actionable steps to help you stand out.
You’ll hear a concise 15–20 minute talk from our guest speaker Simone Parenti, a career and community programme management consultant with 8 years of experience at leading tech and gaming companies such as Google, Ubisoft, and SEGA, sharing practical advice and insights on tailoring CV. Afterwards, we’ll open up the floor for a Q&A session.
