The last 2 years have been brutal for UX Designers looking for jobs. I should know: Iโve been coaching them for 5 years. When I started coaching in 2020, it was a job-seekersโ market and it was easy. And then 2023 rolled around and everything changed. What would once take AT MOST 6 months was now taking AT LEAST 12 months. I felt frustrated and disheartened. I burned out TWICE. But I wanted to figure out a way to help my clients succeed. So I spent hours connecting with UX recruiters, analyzing what they were looking for, studying UX resumes to learn how to best quantify impact, and studying portfolio reviews to understand what would yield candidates results. Then one day, when I was feeling particularly low, I took a step back and had a realization that changed everything: ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ป๐ผ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ธ๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ผ๐ฝ๐น๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ปโ๐ ๐ด๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ท๐ผ๐ฏ๐. ๐จ๐ป๐น๐ฒ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฝ๐๐ฒ, ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐น๐๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ท๐ผ๐ฏ๐. I realized I got sucked into the belief that you canโt get a UX job in this market. And that wasnโt helping me or anyone. I decided then and there to change the story. So instead of responding to the whims of the market, and letting another news about layoffs deflate me, I decided to slow down to speed up, and take my clients through a proven system to go from Qualified to Competitive. I was committed to helping my clients become fireproof. Anyone can get a job when the market is easy, but only those who play an entirely different game can land life-changing roles in any economy. You can cut corners when the market is great and still get results. But when the market is fierce like itโs been, you must be GREAT at the fundamentals. It worked. My clients started landing interviews again. While others complained about the market, my clients got interviews and landed roles at consulting firms, startups, and established businesses. What Iโm most proud of is that they KNEW it would happen and they werenโt stressing about the timeline. They just kept showing up, doing the work, fully knowing that their success was inevitable. Today, I help UX designers with 3+ years of experience get clarity for their next role, own their positioning, and get enviable opportunities that are not advertised.
