Most of junior UX designer role asked for 2-3yoe. So, I volunteered at a startup to at least show that I’m working on something.. the entire process has been quite slow due to the stakeholder has been so busy fundraising and ceo said they are hiring developer (for the past 2months...). And just yesterday they announced the company is going on hold. I’m lost how I should present it on my resume / what to do with mid-fi fidelity prototypes that hasn’t been user tested.. Any suggestions?

It depends on the role…I’d think you’d be able to present them as concepts for a startup that sought seed funding. Or polish them to a certain point

The other thing you should also know is that just because they ask for 2 to 3 years experience, doesn't mean it's a hard must have. Hiring managers put out an ask and know that they won't get 💯 of the asks. Apply anyway and try to stand out. Get referrals if you can as those always go a long way.

My suggestion would be to focus on telling a story about the work you did there. What was the ask? How did you work through your research to get to design? Most importantly, what lessons did you learn from the work and how did you address those issues? If you write a solid case study for this experience, it doesn't matter as much that the project or company went under. When hiring for UX, I care much more about your methods, how you think, how you articulate the decisions you've made rather than if what you designed ever actually sees the light of day.
