I would suggest finding a side project and incorporate user testing into your process. You can still demonstrate the skill even tho the client doesn’t understand why UT is important.
Sometimes companies are just copy and pasting together job descriptions and responsibilities so I would still apply to ones your interested in. I got my job almost a year ago and haven't needed to do half the items listed on the posting.
Yeah there's a lot of factors and constraints around that like what kind of a place you'd like to work and how much autonomy you want in your work. Some larger more established companies with multiple UX depts will likely leave that to the researcher team as you mentioned. You'd be in a more focused and narrow UX lane. If you go to a startup like I did you have to be ok wearing many hats so you could end up doing some kinds of research or analytics. It was supposed to be part of my job since it was listed on the description...but it's almost been a year now and we haven't gotten there so...
Don’t worry about all the specifics in job postings if you know overall you’re a good fit - show why and explain the business case behind that… passion, drive, understanding, aptitude and ability to drive positive results.. Be honest and authentic in your desires and why they should care. Drive your stick into the ground on what you know makes a difference and how the skills you have can influence their world. It’s not always about how many times you’ve done something, but about your ability to maximize the value in what you have to offer and your ability to “shift the needle”. Show passion and understanding of how your specifically can make a difference. Good luck.
If you want to get some experience in a new field - just start doing it.
Even if your company doesn’t need it, you can still do it on your own. Write a test scenario, find some people on the internet and start scheduling calls with them. Since you work on real products, I assume you already know what exactly you would like to test.
Even if nobody wants the test result - you will still gain the same amount of experience as if someone asked you to do it.
