Design is hard. Finding the right job doesnโt have to be.
As designers, we spend considerable effort in honing our craft and staying up to date on the latest design trends. Shouldnโt we apply the same rigor when weโre looking for that dream design job?
Land Your Dream Design Job is a comprehensive book about landing a product design role in a startup, agency, or tech company. It covers the entire design interview process from beginning to end, and will arm you with techniques and strategies to navigate the (at times) turbulent waters of job searching with confidence. This book will help guide you to a role that plays to your strengths while providing enough support for professional growth.
In this book by designer Dan Shilov, youโll learn:
Youโll also find in-depth advice on how to apply beyond the job boards, and how to conduct due diligence, negotiate compensation, and accelerate onboarding to your new role.
As designers, getting feedback is critical to our work. From reviewing your performance to helping you do your own due diligence and negotiate salary, the book covers all the nitty gritty of landing your dream design job.
If you want to take control of your design career and your job search while saving time and moving with purposeโthis book is for you!
What exactly am I buying?
Every title sold on Holloway.com is a one-time purchase for full digital access. That means you get lifetime access online for that title on the web, using the Holloway Reader. That also includes future updates from the author or editors. Finally, you get a PDF download for offline use.
What is the Holloway Reader?
The Holloway Reader lets you read and engage with books bought on Holloway. It is the most advanced reading experience for books on the webโyou use it right in your browser, on desktop or mobile. In contrast to ebooks and paper books, online content in the Holloway Reader is always up to date, including updates when changes to the content are made, like responses to reader questions, new data, or new developments. It includes expert commentary in the margins and offers bookmarks and highlights, instant definitions of technical terms from a glossary, instant previews of links and footnotes, and a powerful search capability only available on Holloway titlesโand we have a lot more on the way.
Do you sell print books?
For a few titles, yes, you can buy paperback editions directly on Amazon. We believe the web is the most flexible interface for readingโbut we know it wonโt replace the satisfaction or practicality of print for some people. Current paperback titles include Art for Money: Up Your Freelance Game and Get Paid What Youโre Worth, Ask Me This Instead, The Holloway Guide to Technical Recruiting and Hiring, and Angel Investing: Start to Finish and more are on the way. (Stay on our mailing list to get notified when new ones are out!)
Can I get a Holloway title as a download?
Yes. A majority of our readers take advantage of the Holloway Reader because of its power and convenience, but you have other options as well. If you buy a title, you get a PDF that you can download and keep to use on any of your own devicesโor even print it if thatโs your thing. If you care about design, youโll be pleased that itโs formatted using the same quality of typography youโll find in books. (Just please donโt share or republish downloads.*)
Do I have to be online to read?
To access the Holloway Reader, you need a connected browser. It works for desktop and mobile (iOS and Android) browsers. If youโll be offline to read, you can save and use the PDF download on your device or laptop. PDFs also work on Kindle.
Are there any discounts?
Before a book is released, it may be available for pre-order. By pre-ordering a title, youโre supporting us and our authors in their work. Pre-ordering also gets you early access to authors, a discount, and other perks. We also offer student discounts to individuals with a valid .edu email address.* And stay on our mailing list!
