I am UX designer and do not use fancy jargons. Will design community accept me?

Hi everyone - I am looking for a new role and would appreciate your support. To help you help me here are details about what I do and what I am looking for. Throughout my 7+ years of experience in the field of UX, I have developed a solid foundation in crafting intuitive and visually appealing interfaces. I have a deep understanding of user research, wireframing, prototyping, and interaction design principles. Moreover, I am proficient in using industry-standard design tools such as Figma. In my previous role at Citi Bank, New York, I successfully collaborated with cross-functional teams to translate user needs into innovative design solutions. I have experience conducting user interviews, usability testing, and creating personas to inform the design process. Additionally, I am skilled in creating interactive prototypes to facilitate user testing and gather feedback for iterative design improvements. In my next role, I am looking to move into a senior/lead position for design and research roles. I have industry experience in different domains like finance, consulting, and retail.

Currently, I know to work with Webflow, Figma, and Canva. Also, I know HTML, CSS, and JS and built some projects. Does that give me an edge over other candidates? Just curious to know🤔🤔

I’m desperate now. I’ve been applying for months now but LinkedIn and other job boards just don’t work for me. Here’s a bit about me: • I have one years of full-time experience in UX Design. • I worked at a design service agency so I’ve worked on multiple kinds of products. • I’m a fast worker and an even faster learner. • I’d consider myself really great at communicating but I’ll leave that decision to you. • Really organised in literally everything I do (you should see my kitchen as proof). • I’m a wizard in Figma but just the worst at Photoshop. • Problem solving skills come naturally to me. If you’re hiring or if you know anyone who is hiring, just comment your email below and I’ll send you my resume and portfolio 🙏🏼

Hey folks, I'm a 2 years experienced front end developer looking to switch career to ux design learning figma and ux concepts currently. I've been designing static pages. Can you guys give your honest opinion and advice on how i can switch my career to ux?

Bhai Mai DSA kru yaa nhi. Figma se jyada scope dikh rha xD

Context- I’m 30 YO. Have 4.5 years of overall experience and 3.5 years in User Experience Design. Ive got a background in physical product design & I landed in UX due to non availability of 3D projects in TCS. My leaning in UX since 3.5 years has been hands-on. I’ve worked for a client for almost 3.5 years as a user experience designer. I used to work in silo 95% of the time and hence didn’t know the right YX methodology to use during the UX research process, didn’t know the rights questions that I need to ask to both the stakeholders and users as I didn’t educate myself through any online courses regarding the same. Before I graduated, I was told be a few friends that ‘UX is doable and it’s very easy up learn. If you can pursue physical product design, you can easily do UX. Fast forward 4 years, I’m compiling all the work I’ve done for the client and I’ve realised a lot of loopholes and lack of depth both in the design process and in the designs. Neither I asked the right questions during the User interview nor my design fully solves the user’s problems completely. I have to add these 2 projects I d worked for the client as I need to showcase real world projects in my portfolio. I want to switch not just due to bad pay. I want to switch for better exposure, for growth and to learn to work in a team. I can’t go to the client and gain more clarity on the needs and requirements of the project as I no longer work with them. I will re-educate myself regarding the user research methodologies, best UX practices , UI design principles etc. But how do I showcase these projects which are flawed and has a lot of loopholes?

Looking at the sad state of UX market in India makes me think about the scene few years back. In 2018-19 many folks who found coding or other roles a little difficult switched to UX. UX design was glorified even more by few design influenzaaas as if its the only coolest job left in IT. Most of the experienced designers we see today are earning good but shit in their pants when asked to do good visuals. They are good at talking, use lot of UX jargons and give gyaan on Linkedin comments and constantly ridicule designers who are good at visuals to sound intellectual. We don’t see talented illustrators, motion designers, vfx folks get the appreciation they deserve. Also these skills are difficult and takes hell lot of practice to master and has a high entry barrier as well.

Hi, I am a motion designer with 2+ years of experience working at a Fintech company. Good with User Research, UI, Interaction and, Motion as added advantage! I am an engineer by education ;) Want to switch to Product design. Any openings ?

Hey everyone, I am a Junior FE Dev (from my prev work title coz my exp is 1YoE). Have been working extensively on React.JS and Redux. My previous company was great. I was loving it. Sadly a few months ago, I was laid off. I still don't know the reason behind why I was one of the laid off people. Anyway, I moved on from that depression and started searching for a new job from last month. Made it to final rounds in pretty much every interview I sat for. But then got rejected in final round for crazy reasons including "we currently don't have funds to hire you". One of them even said they are on hiring freeze, literally in the final round 🥲. Haven't been able to get a job anywhere. I don't know if my skills aren't enough to be hired or is it something else. "What's hot in FE right now ? Like what skills can fetch me a job ?" - Started asking this myself as well as some of my good friends, but they say don't learn skills for getting job, learn it for yourself. Though it's true, I don't have much savings to support myself for atleast a month. So, I have to get into a job to keep myself from going bonkers under the financial crunch that I can clearly see ahead of myself if I stay unemployed in the next 20 days. Yes, the tech market is in its winter season. I understand that, but I still see there are so many openings in the market for ppl with 1YoE like me and skillset that matches mine, yet I never hear back from them or just get rejected in final rounds 😕. I'm absolutely clueless on what to do right now. Any suggestions would be really helpful.
