For newer designers or those who aspire to be, 04:55 is the most relevant information here. Certificates and Case Studies are cool, the reality is just that these are tools for us designers and people outside of the sphere don't really care for that at all. The only thing that matters is how does your work look like (portfolio) and whom have you worked with so far (resume).

I wanted to get into UIUX for years, and ended up making one of those roles for myself after a career change. Came in to a job as an "Interactive" Designer which mainly meant emails and ads for a massive enterprise corp. After a few months of building trust with coworkers and leadership in my business unit, I created a new role for myself doing what I wanted to do in UIX. It took several months to get there (and I think that's the only way to do it-after a year of anything being a certain way in corporate America, it becomes extremely difficult to change), but now I'm happy in my role and making an impact.

Thanks I just got my BA in CS and now I'm doing the Google cert for UX. This was very encouraging. I'm also networking. I was always afraid of sounding so dumb to people but father said the more experience you have the more you're able to articulate what you want out of a job and also present yourself in a professional manner. He told me to take on many interviews as I can to gain experience. I'm glad that was your journey and it paid off :)

I am going to start my diploma in digital marketing in October and I hope to be able to work in digital marketing as well. I do wish you all the best for your future and hope to see your in real life and guides videos coming in :)

I think a major disclaimer here should be that you actually had a real UX job to put on your resume!! I am a graphic designer in the wayfinding industry and have completed my Google UX certificate and have my masters in visual communication design and still, after all of that...I have zero responses from employers. I would highly recommend to people who think landing a job in UX is quick and easy. Employers will not consider you unless you have the work experience first. Its super frustrating.

I respect your hard work and I don’t deny you your right to succeed professionally. But I have to point a few things out (I’m sorry): UX Designer is not a real job. What I mean by that is that it’s a job that only exists because of confusion around the software design process. The confusion arose because of software is not made according to real engineering practices. If it was, pple who have no software development experience would never be selected to design software. In truth, the UI of software is an engineering concern, and need to be handled by people who have the expertise needed to make the right decisions. Presentation of the UI and navigation between different screen is an engineering concern and needs to be handled by engineers. To be an engineer you dont necessarily need an engineering degree but you need to know how to build software. UX designers in truth, have no real skills besides the kind of skills you get from doing this Google course. Software is just another type of technological product, just like a car or a washing machine, now ask yourself would you really want someone who has no automobile background but only some online certificate to design the controls for a car? Then why would software be any different. And my point will be proven over time. The aberration that unskilled, unqualified workers such as UX designers are entrusted with making design decisions for software products will be rectified as it will become clearer and clearer that they are not needed. That in fact design decisions need to be a special branch of software engineering, like UI engineering, and that somebody who is responsible for designing UIs needs at least 10 years experience building software before claiming to be good at making UI. And that prophecy is already becoming true with more and more companies shunning UI/UX and all these Google certified UX Designers being left out of a job. So I don’t mean to rain on ure parade but I strongly advise you to retool, learn how to build software for real. Its not more hard than learning figma etc and then you will have real hard tangible skills to sell on the job market.

Gosh yes, apparently OPT is not very strict. You can work for your school, an early startup, or an organization, or even volunteer to get that problem solved. So the job doesn't need to be a hardcore 8h/day thing. Ask your school first if you can log that you are working for the school to the system but don't do a significant work to help to transfer to your career.
