This has been a hot topic in the design world. There's been a lot of discussion about the role of junior designers in the industry. It's clear that there are plenty of talented juniors out there, but it seems like many companies aren't fully tapping into their creativity and fresh perspectives. Thanks to ⚡️Zander Whitehurst for raising this important issue. I believe it's time for companies to start embracing the potential of junior designers and giving them real opportunities to contribute to project development and success. And also, when it comes to hiring designers, location shouldn't be a deal-breaker. If someone's the right fit for a remote position, let's give them a chance, regardless of where they're based. Happy Designing Solutions! 😁✑✍︎💻 #uxdesigner #hiring #hr #hiringmanager #designer #adeokliq
Stop only hiring senior designers Every afternoon I spend 3hr speaking to Design Leads around the world. The consensus? Their teams are nearly 100% senior which is a mega problem. It’s time to bring balance back to design by hiring more juniors. Agree? #ux #ui #design #productdesign #career

We have so many product design role names that it’s confusing not only to non-designers but also to the designers themselves 😅 - Product Designer - UX/UI Designer - UX Designer - UI Designer - Product Experience Designer - Interaction Designer - Service Designer - Interface Designer - Web designer - … Some of these roles are getting separated because of the skillset required. For example, UX and UI. But some of them are just different names for the same thing. So what can we do with all this? These are just names. We should focus more on the responsibilities and what we can do for our customers and business. I think this naming issue was driven by the super fast growth of the Tech industry in the previous decade, and now things are going slower and more consciously. All these redundancies across different companies, hiring freezes, fewer design roles, and the boost of AI are all signals of transformation. Once again, don’t think a lot about the names, focus on the impact you can deliver 🚀 #uxui #productdesign #futureofdesign

This kind of "content" makes me unfollow people. Zander is great at making short design videos and brand-building but also created a company that sells training to juniors. This post is pandering and comment-bait with zero insight. Is an all-senior approach a "mega-problem"? For whom? For juniors who finish Memorisely courses, perhaps. Businesses struggling for cash and funding (just like talent struggling with layoffs) need results, fast. Their behaviour makes complete sense.

*Why Is It Getting Harder for UX Designers to Land Jobs?* The UX job market has become incredibly competitive, and it seems harder than ever for designers to land roles. Is it due to an oversupply of talent or because standards are now sky-high? I remember when I got my first UX job—it wasn’t because of my vast experience or skills, but because of my passion and attitude. Big shoutout to Gagaan Ssahni for recognizing that. In today's market, it’s not just about having all the knowledge. Even doctors can’t remember every medicine, but they know how to find solutions. What matters is effort and determination to get the job done. Dear Hiring Managers, Please don’t just seek the perfect designer with a flawless portfolio. Look for those who are willing to go the extra mile and learn continuously. Passion and a willingness to work hard often lead to better results than mere perfection. #UXDesign #Hiring #EffortOverPerfection #UX #JobSearch #PassionForDesign

Let’s continue to champion diversity in design teams. Together, we can make a lasting impact. #design #hiring #ux #designer #product

What UX Hiring Managers Really Want to See in Your Portfolio Navigating the job market as a UX designer can be daunting, especially when trying to make your portfolio stand out. UX hiring managers, who often review hundreds of portfolios, need to see the best of your work quickly. To capture their attention, it’s crucial to frontload your actual designs, showcasing your strengths upfront. Here’s what you need to do to create a compelling UX portfolio that hiring managers will love: 1. 🎨 Highlight Key Designs: Start with your strongest, most impressive designs. 2. 🧩 Show Process: Demonstrate your thought process and problem-solving skills. 3. 📊 Include Data: Use metrics to show the impact of your work. 4. 📝 Tell a Story: Craft a narrative around each project to engage the viewer. 5. 📷 Use Visuals: Incorporate high-quality images and prototypes. 6. 🎯 Focus on Results: Highlight the outcomes and successes of your projects. 7. 🤝 Show Collaboration: Illustrate how you work with others. 8. 🧠 Explain Decisions: Provide reasoning behind your design choices. 9. 🌟 Be Concise: Keep descriptions brief and to the point. 10. 📅 Stay Updated: Regularly update your portfolio with your latest work. Takeaway: A well-organized, visually appealing portfolio that highlights your best work and tells a compelling story will capture the attention of UX hiring managers and increase your chances of landing your dream job. #UXDesign #UXPortfolio #DesignThinking #UserExperience #CareerTips #JobHunting #Hiring #DesignPortfolio #TechCareers #UXJobs For more insights, check out the full article by Casey Britt on LinkedIn: Read More - https://lnkd.in/etd55vKE

I work with UX professionals to position themselves in the job market, build impactful relationships in active UX roles, and develop plans to achieve their career goals.
Hiring UX Designers is challenging. Finding the right team members can significantly affect the performance and impact of your UX team. However, even in market conditions with sufficient candidates, hiring UX Designers can still be difficult for many organizations. I recently had the chance to host a lively discussion on de-risking UX hires at UX Camp Hamburg, which indicated an opportunity to support UX teams in hiring UX Designers at all levels. But as you know, understanding the need comes before building a service; that's where you come in. It would be awesome if you could spare a few minutes of your time to help me understand the challenges of hiring UX designers further by answering a short survey. Of course, I'll keep your answers confidential, but I am happy to share the results if you are interested. Please fill out the survey here: https://lnkd.in/emuBmAqF Should you know anyone who might also be able to contribute and find the survey results helpful, please forward this post or the survey to them. If you have any questions or want to join the conversation about de-risking UX hires, please comment on this post. Thank you for your support, and let me know if I can return the favor. #uxcamphh #uxdesign #uxui #uxdesigner #uxcareer

Responsible for saying "NO" to many things and "YES" to only things that truly deliver value to people (Users) as a data-driven Product manager and designer (UX). #PX
SAD TRUTH: Most recruiters hiring for UX roles know NOTHING about the UX role. POV: If you are an entry-level Uxer who needs a job, kindly pay MORE attention to your “UI” skills. I know lots of my senior UXers will disagree with me but just hear me out. Because most recruiters do not know what we (Uxers) do, and associate our work with making things look pretty (Graphic Design), that's what they look out for in your UX portfolio. The pretty stuff. 🤣 They don't care about the “PROCESS” or the problem you are trying to solve. What draws their attention are the “Pretty” mockups. Even in some organizations, your PM/PO who has zero knowledge about your role and design already has a design in mind and will sketch it out for you to go and make it “Pretty” in Figma.🙄 Hopefully, after getting the job with the pretty stuff, you can always learn more about UX properly when you are working day in and day out. NB: Credit to whoever designed the mockup I used in this post.🫶🏾 #uxdesign #uxresearch #entrylevel #uxadvice #uxinsights
