I have an associate’s in liberal arts and a BA in English/Creative Writing. Despite freelancing, I’m struggling to secure interviews and feel discouraged. I was told an English degree would open doors, but I’m unsure where to pivot. I’ve been advised to explore project management or data analytics, though I’m hesitant. I want stable, paid work but feel stuck and uncertain about next steps or certifications. Any advice?

Where did you get your BA from? Many colleges have a very strong placement program. Also, look at call centers(AT&T, Wells Fargo, USAA, …)

Im sorry to say that whoever told you your English degree would open doors lied to you.

Bridge between Customer Support and Product Design?

Hiya! I am in the final round of interviews at an EdTech platform for a role that is the bridge between the Customer Support and UX/Product Design teams. I act as that bridge in my current role but on a more informal basis because it is a smaller company.

Would anyone be willing to share their perspective (positive or negative) on the Product/UX end of this relationship? I want to make sure to ask the right questions.
Thank you!
