Hello All, Need a career advice
I have 5 years of experience working as a data analyst and i have always felt its not what i want to do in my life. Finally took the step to learn ux design and build a portfolio and i love it. Now i am thinking how to put my resume together and find job. What should I mention in my resume? Does my data consultancy work count? and what kind of companies and roles should i approach?

Try not to completely ignore your previous role in you resume. Also try to leverage you previous roles experience with your new UX skill and put it across in a way where the understanding of previous roles help, identify, observe user view in your UX role where it gives a first hand experience from a user and stakeholders perspective. Hope this helps. Good luck!
