The inconvenient truth about UX job postings If you’re looking for your next UX job, don’t be fooled by sheer volume. Many job postings are inaccurate and misleading. For example, a job may be listed as “UX designer” when really they’re looking for a “UI designer”. Or, the job description may seem perfect, but the company’s culture is far from what you want. So, how do you judge UX job postings? - Be wary of vague job titles. - Scan the job description for specific tasks and responsibilities. - Research the company’s reputation and culture. Remember, quality beats quantity. Don’t waste your time on a job that isn’t a good fit. Be discerning and don’t settle. It’s your career and your happiness that’s at stake. #hiring #designcommunity #ux #uxdesign

*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

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

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

I hired a Senior UX Designer a little over a month ago. At that time, we had to turn down a handful of other amazingly talented people. On Wednesday, our team opened up another Senior UX role. I reached out to the hiring managers and asked if they'd like to revisit conversations with any of the previous finalists - they did and we had 1 person in mind. I talked to this person yesterday, made an offer and they signed last night! In less than 24 hours, we got it done. Sometimes that "we'll keep your resume on file" is actually true 😉 A good reminder that creating a positive experience and building a great relationship with people can really help - you never know when your paths may cross again! #Hiring #Recruiting #TalentAcquisition

If you've hired for a mid or senior-level UX position in the past 6 months, what are a few things that made candidates stand out to you? Let's consider this a little UX research exercise so we can understand what goes through the minds of people involved in hiring! Note: Please only reply if you've actually hired someone in the last 6 months ... not looking for hypothetical opinions here! #uxresearcher #uxjobs #uxdesigner #productdesigner #uxwriter #uxdesign #productmanagement

For those who are just starting their design career or aspiring to become designers, it's advisable to avoid remote jobs in the early stages. Design roles often require close collaboration with Product Managers, Tech teams, and other designers. #ux #uiux #productdesigners #product #design

Are you making this critical UX mistake? Not investing in UX and user research is a common misstep for mid-stage companies. With limited resources, they often pour enormous amounts of money into hiring engineering talent and product managers, but rarely do they allocate the same level of investment into hiring UX designers, UX agencies, or user researchers.

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

Over 900+ responses 😱 😡 Some people will look at this post and see "great another 900 people competing for jobs" vs 😇 These are 900+ people to learn from one another. As someone transitioning, you are constantly told "Look at other portfolios". I have gone to look for different websites with portfolios with broken links and everything else. Instead of going to a specific website to look, I am going to review some of these professional portfolios. As a community, we should do more post like this to get information of other peoples talent, and also provide assist one another to grow. 🎇🎇🎇
