You need this course if…
-
You might have browsed free UX events and YouTube sessions or even taken the Google UX certification. You might even be a seasoned graphic designer or academic researcher looking to fill out a few knowledge gaps before pivoting into a UX career path.
-
You might have 1-2 projects, but it’s still unclear about what UX career path you want to pursue or what your specialty is. You know you need to build your confidence when it comes to pitching yourself as a UX designer or UX researcher to hiring managers.
-
You have 1-5 years of transferrable skills from other career paths like customer service, education, healthcare, hospitality, sales and marketing, or social media that can be rebranded into UX terms.
This means you don't have to start from scratch when applying to UX jobs! In fact, it may be possible to rebrand to a mid-senior level UX researcher or UX designer by leveraging your past skillsets.
