343 / Design Your UX Roadmap: How I Landed My UX Job In 6 Months

Last year when I left my previous job, I had a big challenge: how I pivoted my career from a multimedia designer to a UX designer in a new country without local experience? I did some research and mapped out my strategy, and it worked. I got two permanent UX job offers and landed my job at a multinational company. The research and the plan I did, is a strategy I called the UX roadmap. This 4-step strategy is not only working for applying for a UX role but also works for applying for any tech-related jobs. I do not guarantee you can definitely land a job if you follow these 4 steps, but if you do, you will know where you are on your journey, and it will help you to keep calm when you are not there yet. These steps are knowledge, skill, portfolio and community.
