Have you ever used resume services?

So showcasing that you actually know how to conduct research is the key. What platform would you recommend for someone to use as a portfolio?

@@user-bj1ez7wr7n yep, absolutely And a strong resume since most recruiters won’t give you the time of day unless your resume has strong experiences As for the portfolio platform, honestly just use google slides or PowerPoint. No need for a website (at least, the priority should be to have a collection of case studies, and the website is just something that adds extra effort). I have some videos on how to build a portfolio as well!

When I got laid off my company also provided free career coaching services. They just proofread my CV and corrected "Company" to "Company Ltd." 🥲 What I struggle the most in my CV is that I worked at a low UX maturity company - so as an entry-level solo UXR it was next to impossible to make an impact. All I have to show for it is "valuable learning experience" and a burnout.

Hey Kevin, great to see you back again on youtube! If you ever want to meet up with a fellow UXer (not quite to UX leader level yet, but doing my best!), please let me know if you're ever in Paris. I believe we have mutual friends on linkedin haha if you want to connect there. Am currently a mid-level UX/UI designer, and your encouragement and videos helped me so much when I was starting out, and I try to keep leveling up in UX research too. Hope you're doing well and having a great summer! <3

@@yolenederis402 thanks so much for your comment and for sharing your story! The labor market definitely sucks right now, and sometimes it’s not you. but there is hope. I can tell you put a lot of effort by going through the bootcamp and making a portfolio! I ensure your portfolio includes projects with real stakeholders and complex problems with impact. On the application front, apply apply apply, but try reaching out to startups or companies directly you really like and see if they have opportunities too Let me know if you want to chat more!

@zerotoux

When you say degree, I’m assuming you mean PhD? If so, yes it’s still possible! Competition is tight yes, but it has always been fierce! I don’t wanna recommend grad school since it is quite a financial investment, but if UXR is your dream, I would try freelancing or getting whatever UXR gigs you can to build experience!

Hi Joana! Thanks for sharing, marketing is a great background! CX and UX are closely related. I gotta put my hat in the ring of course, zerotoux.com/masterclass! I’ve been away from KZbin teaching a live cohort with a real client project (we worked with Mastercard, userinterviews, upwork, smartsheet, Surfshark, Warner bros games, and more!), and I’m also working on a self paced one too Check it out! Happy to answer any questions. @Qianology also posted a video about the class if you want to see a review of it on her KZbin channel Other than that, most general UX bootcamps don’t teach UXR in depth, maybe user research academy by Nikki or curiosity tank by Michele are also good. But I wouldn’t recommend any university UX bootcamps.
