If you're a #UX or #ProductDesign professional who's been unemployed and struggling to get interviews for MUCH longer than you'd like — I strongly encourage you to watch the following videos.
What may likely be hurting you is how you describe yourself and your work — here on LinkedIn, in your CV and in your portfolio. The value and benefits and outcome of your work to the companies you've worked for — the outcomes that make you a valuable asset to an employer — is likely absent.
Take a look at these live resume/portfolio reviews I did with @Kritika Oberoi and @Nick Finck to see what I mean; just about EVERYONE makes the same mistakes because it's how we're taught and encouraged to promote ourselves (and it doesn't work).
Hope they're helpful.

If I was to suggest one essential tool every beginner in software development should be using, it would be Codecademy.
Really helped me when I was starting out!!
I love @Codecademy, you changed my life…
We’re looking for product designers at @iverson
If you’re a generalist who likes a mix of UX, visual design, and prototyping, send an email with work you’re proud of to [email protected]
Got of a client call, at the end they mentioned a designer who charges $10,000 for a 30 min call referred me & baked for their 0 to 1 product design.
I rarely ask who referred them, as most them come from X. I'm amazed by how a big designer (he worked on some ultra amazing stuff) would openly share my agency website and ask clients to book a call with me.
For people fighting over each other every day and trying to prove that they own the design twitter, need to learn a thing or to from the actual "designers" who help others grow.
Exam prep struggles are REAL!
As a student, I know how hard it can be to read through notes and try to anticipate exam questions.
But what if I told you there's an easier way?
@SimplifiedIQ helps you prepare better by: watch the video 😜
i see designers posting the tools they need to earn $30K, $100K, $...
here is my take 👇
all i need is "ME"
i don't say it in an egoistic way.
invest in "you".
learn the human skills,
master the fundamentals,
don't get too dependent on tools.
any investment you make in yourself only compounds to greater over the years, unlike tools that go obsolete
i used to design with photoshop, then sketch came, today figma, tomorrow ...?
i used to communicate using ..., today ...
ps,
i earned 💰💰💰 without touching design tools, by guiding corporations, by consulting and sharing experiences, by...
be the designer
independent of tools
✌️
So I made a $100 bill that resizes with your screen. Think adaptive design meets digital currency meets inflation—all in one package. https://t.co/tFiq15AEys

As I said before, completing a course is different from understanding each section and chapter and starting with its fundamentals.
As you can see, I started learning Webflow two months ago using its 101 course, and I haven't finished it yet (I'm only 64% done).
I'm carefully understanding each chapter and practicing them along the side. I can proudly tell you that my concepts are 100% clear so far. It's the same as learning about UX or UI design.
There are no shortcuts to what you learn 👋
