40 Websites To Help You Find Your Next Remote UX Job

Interested in pivoting into user experience in 2023? We collected 50+ amazing websites, communities, job boards for you to find your next role.

What are the best job boards to find my first UX job?

There are dozens of job boards for UX designers on the hunt, but we encourage you to be iterative. We teach the “see-saw” method where you have a minimally viable version of your portfolio, where you feel decently satisfied with what you have created, but there is room for improvement. Once you’re comfortable with the first iteration, send it out to recruiters, jobs, and listen to their feedback. Are they asking for extra case studies, extra skills that they don’t see displayed, extra A, B, C, D- now is the time to add more to improve for your next opportunity!

See-saw method = Add a little, send out portfolio to new jobs. Get feedback from recruiters and mentors.  Refine the portfolio some more.

Our main job is to get you hired as a designer or researcher. It’s not to get you hired as a portfolio designer so please limit yourself and don’t over-exhaust yourself in the pursuit of perfection.

We suggest that there is no one perfect way to find a job in UX, and instead you should have many “tentacles” to your approach. Some advice:

1. Have a job-searching routine for yourself, and schedule your applications, no different from any other routine. Set at least several hours per week to apply to jobs, and make it a part of your schedule to exhaust all of your options.

2. ⚡ Create an application tracking document. There are sites like Teal (Chrome extension) that help you, or you can use a simple Google Doc. Note what company you applied to, the date, what title, what was the outcome, what round you made it to, and the source of the job (google, linkedin, etc).

3. Remember that your portfolio and resume need to be analyzed and updated. Update your resume and portfolio with new terms, new projects, new ways of telling your story, as your job searching process goes on.

4. It helps to be niched down. 🔑 A great “trick” to finding impactful descriptions for your resume is to look at job descriptions on LinkedIn, Glassdoor, Google Jobs, etc. Scroll to see which keywords the job is requiring and add those to your resume.

5. Compare contracting rates vs full time as you are approaching your job search.
