Hi, I studied architecture but now I'm trying to switch to UX design. I took a course on Coursera about Google UX Design. I've been applying for jobs everywhere for two months now. They ask me to design something for a few days, but then they stop talking to me. It's making me feel really down and unsure if I made the right choice. Can anyone help me understand what's going on? I don't know anyone in this field, so any advice or some contacts would be awesome. Thanks for listening.
