About The Event:
Are you looking to transition into the field and land a UX job? Do you want to avoid wasting months (or years) receiving countless demotivating rejections?
While the demand for user experience professionals is quite strong, it can be tough to break in, especially in the current more competitive market, and you can face many pitfalls along the way.
There is a large variety of tactics to build skills and experience, position yourself as an attractive candidate, and get noticed by employers. Their effectiveness can vary tremendously and have a major impact on how successful (or not) you are with the UX career transition.
Join this interactive virtual fireside chat to learn from a senior UX practitioner who successfully landed his first UX role at a major bank, worked in UXR at Meta and is now at Google.
You will learn about his journey, the key roadblocks, and how exactly he became highly hirable and nailed his first UX job search.
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 land your first UX job.
