Anyone in UX Design?

[Fill Collins]

Perfect time to get into it Breh. The market is dry dry dry dry right now. I have about 20 years and hiring in the last few have been hard.

It's good to have a general understanding of HTML/CSS. Your designs are more informed that way and developers appreciate that shyt.

WE NEED MORE BREHS IN UX! If you have any UX questions or need advice let me know.

I don't use subscribe and have messages off but will pop in here time to time.

Sorry for the bump, but I just enrolled in a Google career cert for UX design and your post was really, really encouraging earlier

^Same. I'm wanting the ecommerce site I've built (fills a gap) to have a more polished look with custom designs. Understanding user experience, picking up some design tools, and theory should take my sites to another level. I've been enjoying the Google/Coursera course, so far.

Keep me updated with how it's going. Help anyway I can.

Thanks for the advice.
I'm new too and not finding companies hiring experience under 2 years unless the person was already a developer, product designed or graphic artist.
I plan to use this info to take my portfolio in a whole new direction.
Any additional info about using mechanical turk for usability studies?

To give you a little background, a few months ago I finished that Google/Coursera UX design course. I enrolled in the course initially just as something to do, but I found that I really enjoyed doing it.

After finishing the program, I got a part time entry level position in UX design(I'm a CPA as my full time job).

What else should I learn as I continue to advance in UX design? Should I learn some coding?(HTML/CSS)

Reps for any advice

What was your method of finding work for it? I’ve enrolled for the course and decided to see if any other coli brehs did it

Being honest? I just applied to like 15-20 UX roles every day on Indeed until someone gave me a shot, lol

The key is continuing to refine your portfolio, and somehow connect some things you did in your previous career to UX with interviewers if that makes sense

For example, I would say that I "empathized with the clients I managed as an Accountant"

Good luck breh

CPA sounds like a pretty good job already. Why make the switch?

The official title is Junior UX/UI Designer. Part time now but I'm hoping to make it FT within a few months!

I've just lost interest in being a CPA/Accountant it is a very good career though. Stable and I'll have it to fall back on if this UX thing doesn't work out

Got approved for this UX job board yesterday

The Craft

Don't know if it'll amount to anything, but I've learned a lot from her youtube channel so I'll give it a shot
