Don't judge designers based on their portfolios 👇🏼 I know, That's probably the only quick and easy way to evaluate someone's design skills. But that's not the whole story. Here are some unseen perspectives: - Many seniors don't have the time to update their portfolios - Lots of projects can't be included in portfolios because of strict contract terms and NDAs - Crafting a good portfolio requires lots of time + effort and folks often get stuck in the hamster wheel of perfecting and not publishing - There's a huge lack of motivation for updating portfolios (rigorous process, tough market, unemployment, ...) - Many designers aren't comfortable sharing their portfolios with others and asking for feedback - Not all of the designers have good visual skills What else? -— - — - P.S. I'm not advocating the portfolio-less hiring process. -— - — - #userexperience #portfolio #ux #design #hiring

Presentation is a skill among many that a designer should have :)

NOW HIRING: Principal Product Designer. These are extremely high level IC roles reserved for the absolute best of the best top % of Designers. True Principal Designers are extremely rare, but finding a home as one is also pretty rare - not all companies fully understand how to utilise you. Not the case for this team! You'll be surrounded but exceptional talent where your already high bar for design will be well and truly maintained and beyond. This particular tool their building has some unique features; - Highly intuitive Tool that is both powerful and very easy to use. - Think No Code, Web Editors, Creator Tools, Canvas/Composer style tools I'm looking for that rare designer out there that still believes whole heartedly in the beauty of UI/Visual design and want to work in a team where no UI is compromised. You're the kind of Designer that's probably gotten frustrated with the lack of next level craft out there and finding a team that gets that is hard...until now. #designjobsusa #designjobs #productdesignhiring #productdesignjobs #jaredtredly #principaldesigner

I am currently reviewing 300+ designer profiles for a new job opening we have, and one thing that clearly stands out is how much visual design quality matters in today's (very) saturated market. My recommendation for everyone looking for a job right now is to go the extra mile and invest time and energy into crafting your portfolio, website or self-presentation well. Meticulous visual communication matters and also tells a lot about your attitude and how much you care. Even if you are, for example, a UX designer or UX researcher and visual design or visual communication is not your strength, hire someone to do it for you. The ROI on such an investment will be huge. If you do not do it, you are putting yourself at a major disadvantage – and that can be a very costly mistake. #design #hiring #market #insights

Thinking of changing careers - try this: Write out a generic Job Description for your next job. Pick a title for your dream work (not necessarily dream company, but dream role). Try to describe the responsibilities. Who do you report to? Who do you work closely with? What are your goals? How do you measure success? List the requirements! What skills will you need? Which ones do you already have or want to get better at? Then, make a few copies and try to turn them into Job Descriptions for specific roles. What does it look like if you go from just a 'designer' to a 'brand designer', a 'UX designer', a 'fashion designer'? Do you feel comfortable with the language? The lingo? This is an awesome starting place to get a feel for how much work stands between you and that ideal role. Good luck! #careerchange #designjobs #jobdescription Out of Architecture

🌟 Fall Seven Times, Stand Up Eight 🌟 Searching for a UX/UI design role in London is a journey full of challenges and lessons. Every rejection, every unanswered application, every "thanks, but no thanks" feels like a step back. But every time, I stand back up, dust myself off, and move forward. Why? Because every fall teaches me something: 💡 A better way to present my portfolio. 💡 A clearer way to tell my story. 💡 A sharper focus on what truly matters to hiring managers. This process isn’t just about landing a job — it’s about resilience, growth, and believing in the value I bring as a designer. It’s about designing solutions, not just for users, but for my own career. To everyone out there chasing their dream role: you’re not alone. Keep standing back up. Every "no" gets you closer to the "yes" that will change everything. 💬 What’s the biggest challenge you’ve faced in your job search? And how did you stand back up? #UXDesign #CareerGrowth #JobSearchJourney #Resilience #DesignYourFuture

My Current User Experience? Desperately Seeking UX Design Job (But with Amazing Skills!) Anyone hiring a UX designer who can design interfaces smoother than a freshly buffed dance floor? 🤔 My current project involves surviving on ramen noodles and mastering the art of not becoming a human beanbag chair. It's...character-building, but not exactly the kind of experience you put on a resume. Here's the real deal: I'm a highly motivated UX designer with a killer portfolio (seriously, it's fire) and a passion for creating intuitive and beautiful user experiences. I'm a quick learner, a team player, and can probably outlast anyone in a staring contest (useful for those late-night design sessions ). DM me if you have an opening and a sense of humor! 😎 P.S. My ramen noodle consumption skills are negotiable. My design skills, however, are top-notch and non-negotiable. 🍜 #uxdesigner #jobsearch #opentowork #cantstopwontstop #ramennoodlesoptional
