good luck to you

It is a difficult time to get into user experience. Take as many trainings and (free) courses as you can to build an understanding of the discipline, which is very wide-ranging and not just a design role. (This blog post explains in part https://www.jotform.com/blog/a-wide-perspective-for-designing-user-experience). Be practical and build a portfolio of work, even if it is for classes or your own exercises (e.g., find a UXissue with a site or app you use, do the analysis to identify the problem, propose a solution as to how you would fix it).

Do companies really look for all those skills?

Hello fellow designers!

I was laid off back in August and I have been trying to get a product/UX/UI job ever since then. With the recession and all of the crazy things that are happening right now it has been even harder.

Is anyone hiring a mid-level Product/UX/UI designer?
I have 3 years of experience as a UX/UI Designer and I am available to start working immediately! (Remote work is preferred since I live in Phoenix, AZ and there are not a lot of tech jobs here)

TIA ♥️

Hi 👋 Any good UX books for senior designer level that helps with strategy, and good frameworks, or anything that will help me with my thought process? I have the basic books like don’t make me think, and 100 things. I’ll be joining a startup soon as chief designer, and will be back to being a full stack designer — I’ve been an IC for the past few years, so I definitely need to improve on strategies and maybe frameworks when it comes to UX. Will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks! 🙏🏻

However, I am really interested in joining the team at Booking, especially because of the design culture.

What should be my reasons to accept or not accept the offer from booking?
