**About The Event:**

Are you looking to get into the field and land your first UX role? 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 or hypothetical 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 :)

Join this interactive virtual fireside chat to learn from a UX practitioner who successfully landed her first UX role at Dell and worked at Subvrsive VR/AR Studio and Sogeti/Capgemini.

You will learn about her journey, the key roadblocks, and how exactly she built real UX work experience and an awesome portfolio with strong case studies and started her UX career.

If you want an opportunity to learn from those who successfully accomplished exactly what you are looking to do, we invite you to join this event - so you can also become highly marketable and nail that first UX job search.
