Thanks Brian.

I see a mixture - I see some positions advertised as IA and user experience (increasing over the past few years). But I also see many places that could do with someone with these skills, but people don’t even know the skills exist.

I mostly get work by word of mouth, and based on my skills, not my job title. This is really the thing that is important - I have the right skills for a particular need.

Donna,

First off - well done and the best of luck to you.

Secondly - how do you find the NZ and Australian experience in terms of describing and selling your skills, experiences and capabilities?

Is there an overt need for IA’s or user experience specialists by name - or is it that your pallet of skills is needed, with your experiences.

Regards, and well done again

Brian

Donna keep it up..

It’s so interesting to see how other people do freelancing. After 12 years of it, I’m still learning.
