[Career Workshop] Getting Your First UX Research Job

🤔 Curious about UX Research and wondering how to break into the field — or transition from a related role? This session is all about what comes next.
Whether you're just starting to explore UXR or already considering it as your next step, we’ll help you understand how to actually get there.
In this follow-up workshop, we’ll build on our previous discussions about the foundations of UXR and dive into the practical side of becoming a UX Researcher — from creating a strong portfolio and identifying good job opportunities to translating your existing UXD experience into something research teams and recruiters will love.
This session is for both research-practicing and research-curious folks who are ready to move from “interested in applying” to “prepared to apply.” Whether you’ve already started looking for UXR roles or are just considering the switch, we’ll cover the key things that help you stand out in the real world.

📗You’ll learn:

• How to build a UX Research portfolio (spoiler: not all companies expect one, but having it is a serious advantage)
• How to spot a good job posting (we’ll go through real listings together — and check the red & green flags)
• How to adapt your UX Design portfolio into a research-ready version (yes, we’ll look at real portfolios too!)
• What hard and soft skills make a strong UXR — at any level or in any context

📣 We’ll also have time for live feedback — so if you’d like to share your current UX Design portfolio and shape it into something that works for a UXR position, let us know at: galarydesign.tokyo@gmail.com
If you’ve been wondering how to make the jump into UX Research — and actually get noticed along the way — this workshop will help you turn curiosity into confidence and ideas into action.
