Are you looking to transition into the UX field without having to quit your current job? Do you want to avoid wasting months (or even years) receiving countless demotivating rejections b/c you “lack experience”?

While you might be just starting to learn or already have some UX skills and student projects in your portfolio, you may have heard that what will ultimately get you hired is professional experience and a strong portfolio with real comprehensive UX case studies. However, how on earth do you get there and solve this eternal catch-22 problem? Turns out, there are ways to do that and become a highly hirable candidate who can stand out in the sea of entry-level candidates with only hypothetical projects in their portfolios. (Moreover, you do not actually have to first get a full-time UX job to achieve that :)

This interactive virtual panel features several seasoned UX professionals, a director, VP and a senior UX designer who worked at JP Morgan, ADP, Macy’s, Scholastic and IBM. We discuss how exactly you can build an awesome portfolio with strong case studies and real UX work experience so you can become a highly marketable candidate and nail that first UX job search.
