Do you want a UX job?

A book on how to transition to a UX research career

There are dozens of excellent books on how to do research. This is the first book on how to become a researcher.

Every researcher started somewhere. Most of us stumbled into UX from other career paths without any guidance. When I moved into UX research, there was no guide book. So I wrote one.
