Some things to remember and put into action from our workshop!

The biggest difference from bootcamps to a professional UX role is designing for business and user goals.
Get this experience in our upcoming course, and set yourself apart from other junior UX candidates

Network Authentically Assess your interests, and find out where people are talking about them - online, or irl.
Look for events that aren’t specifically meant for networking or job placement.

If you’re transitioning into a career in UX, your past experience is valuable.
Use the template from the workshops to tell your story clearly and concisely in your interviews!

Recorded answers to all the questions we didn’t get to in the workshop.

(if your question isn’t linked yet, check back later!)

What is the best way to address gaps of employment when interviewing/on resumes?

Case Study must haves?

Trying to make moves & go to UX team in current company. Any advice?

I don't currently have a portfolio but have done feature work for my current company - how do we showcase those when looking for jobs?

How much is too much information on your resume?

Let's talk about ageism. I'm 42, and my 73-year-old dad thinks I'll likely be unhireable because I'm an "old man." Hmm.

Is there a job market for more UX designers?

Do you think there is a time gap between graduating to finding a job?

Are large companies an ideal environment for those wanting to discover their UX specialty?

What is the best way to change domains within UX Design? Eg. Healthcare to Edtech

Any suggestions on moving your career forward if you're in a role that doesn't give you the impact you need, or you're handling everything with no guidance?

Some of my work experience is great for UI, but some other exp gave me soft skills that I know will set me apart. Do I have to discuss the visual design experience?

Best practice apps, adobe xd or figma do you use these? Are they used for UX?

Are there any styles/types of UX gigs we should definitely avoid?

 I have a data analytics cert also from Google. How can I combine the 2? I read a lot about them beginning to cross paths.
