User experience as a career - Webinar

Are you thinking about a career in User Experience (UX) but don't know where to start or what to expect?

In this webinar we describe where UX fits in the software development process, what skills you need, what kinds of roles exist within UX (yes, there's more than one!), what the job market is like, and hear what real UX designers say about it.

The last 15 minutes contain answers to some great questions from the attendees.
