I’ve been in the job market for about 5 weeks and have been getting some interviews for Senior Product Designer positions. I average about 2 interviews a week. But I also get a ton of rejections. Here are some of my stats:
Rejections after 1st round: 2
Rejections after 2nd round: 2
Rejections after 3rd round: 4
Rejections before I get an interview: ~80
Should I rework my resume? Portfolio? My case study presentation? Or interviewing? I’ll take any advice that’ll improve my chances.

Does anyone else constantly get mistaken for a nurse?

Doesn't really help when I'm one of the only Black on-call physicians. Annoying.

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!

Is it normal for a Product Owner to lay out specs for how a feature should work?

I thought that was my job as the ux designer to figure out the best way to solve a need. But I’m getting handed projects where the PO, and sometimes the senior designer has laid out exactly what should happen (components used, flow, etc) to design a feature. It’s really frustrating because I don’t know if I’m supposed to be speaking up on what I think or just do the UI work I’m asked to.

I’m doing my first UX portfolio on Wix. I have the case studies content drafted out, but I’m struggling with brainstorming wireframes/actual UI for my case studies. I make it a rule to look for dribbble/behance for inspo but only sketch when im not looking at things because I don’t want to copy directly.

I’ve tried using paper/thin markers highlighters, tried using procreate, and also illustrator/photoshop & a tablet. I keep running into issues where I feel overwhelmed. How do I simplify this?

Are there any designers training in accessible UI design lately?
I'm looking to learn and ask some suggestions for an interview tomorrow.
Pretty nervous on technical questions.
