## ​​About the Organizer

​​​Employed.world is community of hiring managers, mentors, coaches, and job seekers in UX and product in Berlin/Germany. In the current job market, there are many highly capable people finding it hard to navigate the market and often feeling that the journey is isolated. No matter if you are a junior, mid-level, senior, new manager, or even a leader. Imposter syndrome, self-doubts, and often a lack of support are among the many hurdles one faces. On the other hand, we have so many professionals in UX and Product including working professionals, seniors, and mentors who would be happy to share their experiences and help someone in need. So we are attempting to increase the interaction between these two groups through our events.
