✨ State of User Research 2024 ✨ Behind the Data: A Research ~Vibe Check~ What's the current outlook on research careers? In our most recent report, we found that people are less optimistic about the future of the User Research industry itself than they were last year 😢 “The field of User Research offers expansive opportunities, but staying ahead in a rapidly evolving tech landscape is daunting. Continuous learning and adaptability are essential, and I feel that more resources could be dedicated to training and development," according to one respondent.

Today we’re launching our first-ever call for research proposals to the broader social science community! We’re looking to mobilize new perspectives and expertise to enrich our data insights and expand access. As part of our moonshot goal to close our equity gap in low- and middle-income students applying for postsecondary opportunities, we need to leverage the unique depth and breadth of our data warehouse on first-year college applicants. We are hoping to examine the diverse array of opportunities that high schools represent for students and use this insight to contextualize issues in student-level preparedness and application behaviors. Our data warehouse represents an enormous, and still largely untapped, resource for this critical research. We’re looking to collaborate with skilled researchers from the broader social science community to accelerate and enhance our work in this arena.

Social intelligence: The strategic use of data from social media and online conversation (forums like reddit, news, and blogs) to answer complex questions. It uses social, behavioral, and emotional signals within data to find the right way forward. (The Social Intelligence Lab) #SocialIntelligence has broad use cases and can sit within a business in research, product, communications, or marketing. In #HigherEd it informs organizational strategy, enrollment, alumni engagement, advancement, academic planning, reputation and brand strategy. We use social intelligence to guide research-led transformation, empowering leaders to take immediate and meaningful action to achieve their goals. https://lnkd.in/eHrY2aHg

“The best research you can do is talk to people.” - Terry Pratchett 🗣️ As researchers, we often dive deep into data, charts, and studies. But let’s not forget the power of human connection. Conversations with others can unlock insights, challenge assumptions, and lead to breakthroughs. So, next time you’re working on a project, consider reaching out to colleagues, experts, or even strangers. Ask questions, listen actively, and learn from their experiences. 💡 Remember: Research isn’t just about numbers; it’s about understanding the stories behind them. 📊 #ECCRT #Quote #ClinicalResearch #LifeScience

🚫 Fancy Degrees ≠ Great Employees 🚫 Let's break the myth once and for all: fancy degrees don't automatically translate to exceptional employees. 🎓💼 Some incredible individuals who didn't boast a laundry list of academic accolades. What sets them apart? Their determination, passion, collaboration skills, and uncanny ability to navigate challenges with grace. These individuals were the backbone of our team, consistently delivering outstanding results and driving innovation. And guess what? Most of them didn't possess a degree. So, the next time someone emphasizes "degree" as a hiring requirement, consider this: there's a vast pool of talent out there, waiting to be recognized for their skills and potential. Don't let a piece of paper overshadow true talent and potential. Stand up for degreeless individuals, and you might just discover some of the most exceptional performers your team has ever seen. ♻️ Share this message to amplify the importance of recognizing talent beyond credentials. ♻️ Explore jobs using this AI tool here >>> https://lnkd.in/eRVexize
