Noam's advice at 25:20 is golden! I'll keep that in mind as I apply for my first UXR role.

[@zerotoux]

@@vishalbhaia1092 it's 🔥 🔥!!!

[@ATIRA]

Thanks for sharing!! This is SO relevant, especially right now with the current job market. Also going to be *virtually* attending the UXR conference in June!

[@zerotoux]

That's going to be exciting! lemme know how the conference goes! Thanks for watching, Pranati! 💪

Wow! Thanks Kevin, for having Noam on this video. Amazing info. So impactful. Without watching this video, I would just simply apply for jobs once my portfolio is ready. Besides getting myself to have basic requirements and more, now I know I gotta start asking myself those important questions, networking, and more research asap! And yes, I just subscribed to Noam's channel. How can I not? So excited to see more of his videos and who you will be interviewing next. No pressure, Kevin. 😁

[@zerotoux]

YES!!! THIS! When I first started, I definitely was applying pretty randomly, and yay! Noam has great conversations with UX industry leaders, too!

[@yinkaajibola1618]

Thanks for uploading Kevin! You’re the real MVP!

[@zerotoux]

Thanks for watching, Yinka! 🥳

very helpful in my internship search!

[@zerotoux]

Good luck on your internship search, Arjun!!

Thanks Kevin! There are many very solid tips for people preparing for UX research/design jobs; or even for job interviews in general! I got so many takeaway that I can’t wait to implement to my UX designer job hunting journey soon. As an ex-tech headhunter, I can relate exactly how the referrals work! Except now, I am at the other side of the table...quite nervous and anxious, but after I watched your video, I felt better and have more courage to proceed further. Thank you Kevin and Noam!

[@UXQuests]

I'm excited for you, you're going to do great! Good luck!

[@rosieway5811]

UX Quests Thanks Noam for your encouragement! I found you got a series of great content! I will watch all of them!!! Really appreciate for you putting these out for all of us who want to learn more about UX and UXR!

[@juliagrahm5553]

This was amazing! I have been feeling stuck lately and this totally freed me. I come from very traditional/conservative fields of work and my thinking about applying for jobs has been outdated. Transitioning into UXR, I didn’t realize how different job matching has become. This was immensely helpful, thank you, Kevin & Noam!

[@UXQuests]

I'm delighted to hear that, thanks for the kind feedback! Best of luck in your transition to UXR!

[@juliagrahm5553]

Thank you, Noam!

[@zerotoux]

Amazing to hear that, Julia! I think I had the same thinking before, too - I wish I had these tips from Noam when I first started! Good luck on your UXR journey!

[@juliagrahm5553]
