2025-01-29 Meeting Agenda

Prework to prep for meeting

• Re-using meeting format from November, 12, 2024, since we didn't get to use this format back then.
• Format & Schedule for Interview Prep:
  • 6:00 - 6:10: Office Hours/Answer any questions members have
  • 6:10 - 6:15: Introduction to meeting and explanation of process
  • 6:15 - 6:30: Brainstorming session for participants. Each person will pick two questions to answer and can use this time to prepare their answers
  • 6:30 - 6:55: Interview prep session with feedback*
  • 6:55 - 7:00: Wrap up

FYIs (nothing needs to be done, just keeping each other informed)

Format for this meeting will depend on how many people attend:

• If there are over eight participants, we should divide into pairs and assign breakout rooms for each pair. Each five-minute session will have one person answering and the other giving feedback before switching rooms. If there is an odd number of participants, one co-lead can participate.
• If there are under eight participants, we will have a group interview style where one person is given 2-5 minutes (depending on how many people are present) to answer followed by brief feedback. Everyone will go once before circling around so each person has had a chance to answer.

Recurring items:

• Getting Started at HfLA UI/UX
• Set up Research Profile
• UI/UX Research Open Roles
• UI/UX Design Open Roles
• UI/UX Writing Open Roles
• UI/UX Templates and Guides
