Even though there are a lot of UX jobs out there right now, the rise in UX programs and bootcamps has made competition for entry level jobs more competitive. You need to find something to give you an edge.

- See if you need to rewrite your resume.

- Look for friends and former classmates who have found jobs, see if they can refer you. Your network is your best resource for getting past the Resume filters.

- Look for tech jobs not in UX (Support, Office Services). When the UX jobs open up you will have an "inside track" on landing that job.

- Look for internships or contract work to build up your portfolio.

I joined consultancy from industry in June 2021. I was expecting a fast paced environment where I can develop my skillset and explore other industries. I was told this in my interviews.

My projects have been slow! I'm a SME on the last tech before prod reaches consumers so I always have dependencies.

Whenever I start work I'm blocked within a few days. I cannot find a flow whatsoever. I feel like I've been staffed on this project too soon

Is this the life of a consultant?

If a position for which I had a first round interview has since been put on hold, would it be reasonable to ask for an informational interview with the would-be hiring manager?

Maybe there are other ways to handle these situations?

The recruiter is also unable to disclose why the team made that decision which makes me uncomfortable. What would you recommend?

- Take an existing habit and add your new habit onto it

- Use chaos and stressful times to rethink practical decisions

- To break bad habits, add friction (eg phone & charger away at night)
