Facing UX Research Gap After 4 Years in UI/UX – Need Direction

Hi everyone,
I’m a UI/UX designer with 4 years experience but little hands-on UX research. I lost my job in mid-April due to downsizing and have been struggling to find work since. Bigger roles require research experience I don’t have yet. I’m looking for advice on how to quickly bridge this gap—volunteering, personal projects, or anything else. Based in Mohali with limited local options. Really need a job soon. Thanks!
