People seem to be confused what a Digital Product Designer is and does: A Product Designer has strong UX and UI skills but the important definition is that they are strategic in the market and balance business and user needs. A Product Design job demands far more skills than just UI design (and these skills take time). Think more **Product Entrepreneur** - and often being across multiple products at the same time. I explain the roles UX, UI, Product Designer and the differences in some detail here - https://lnkd.in/eTAmX6K7 A good example of this is my work as Lead Designer @ terralistens - I work on the native app, the e-commerce website (with blog and SEO) and the web app whilst helping to make platform decisions and manage dev tasks. Product Design is a crucial role which is supported by Marketing, Sales & Upper Management (Pitch decks, funding), Development, and in some cases Manufacturing of physical products too.

Genuine question and probably aimed at recruiters at the moment. Does "Product Designer" actually mean UI Designer? I mean the job title asks for so many things what are what a : • UX Researcher • UX Designer does But the actual output or most of the focus seems to be on UI. Is this the case? Am I being fair? Is it also just worth applying anyway because a Product Designer role is often a "dream" or "wish-list," and actually what is needed is more someone focussed on the UX side of things? #ProductDesign, #UIDesign, #UXDesign, #UserExperience, #UXResearch, #DesignRoles, #JobTitles, #DesignCommunity, #CareerInsights, #Recruitment, #DesignJobs, #DesignThinking, #ProductDevelopment, #CareerQuestions, #DesignDebate, #JobSearch, #TechIndustry, #DesignCareer, #DesignersDiscussion, #UXvsUI

Here's the UX job search strategy that no one is telling you about... If you're stuck endlessly scrolling through job boards searching "UX Designer", you're doing it wrong. There's a world of design roles with titles that don't have the word "UX" in them. 👉🏽"CX Designer" screams strategic thinking. 👉🏽"Interaction Designer" suggests a prototyping pro. 👉🏽"Service Designer" shouts non-interface design mastery. Want to stand out? Think like a recruiter. Here's my secret: Associate UX Designer, UX Strategist, UX Architect, UX Specialist, Digital Experience Lead — that was ME and the titles of some of my roles! My core responsibilities? About 70% is the same across ALL those roles. Skills land the job, not the title. Ditch the narrow search. Open up your mind to a wider range of titles. ========== 🚀 Need a structured roadmap and blueprint to confidently land a job in UX? 💾 Download the FREE guidebook from my website to start: www[.]ShiftUX[.]co #jobsearch #uxjobs #jobtips #uxdesign #productdesign #uxportfolio #designportfolio #figma #uxresearch #resumetips #jobapplications #personalbrand #personalbranding

I completely understand your frustration. Ayush Tyagi It's disheartening when organizations don't value the time and effort designers invest in assignments. I've faced similar situations, and it's crucial to prioritize opportunities that respect your skills and time. Thanks for sharing your experience. #UIDesign #UIUXDesigner #jobsearch

Stop applying for irrelevant UX jobs. Trust me, the recruiter doesn't care. Here's why: - They're getting hundreds of resumes - They're filtering by keywords - They don't have time to read resumes thoroughly So when they see "UI" and "UX" in your resume but they’re only looking for a "UI designer," you’re out of the game. The solution: High-quality custom applications for each position. Spend 30 minutes analyzing their website, finding pain points, and suggesting solutions. Do this in your second paragraph. Are they asking for a specific tool you've never used? Learn it. The key is demonstrating a passion for user-centered design and your ability to solve problems. It's a time investment, but it's a surefire way to land that dream UX job. #hiring #uxjobs #uxdesign
