Event Description

Wednesday, March 26, from 530pm-730pm

The UI/UX job market is more competitive than ever, but the right strategies can set you apart. This Ask Me Anything (AMA) is your opportunity to get real, actionable advice from industry professionals who have been where you are—and who know what it takes to land a job today.

Whether you’re a career switcher, a self-taught designer, or a recent graduate, you’ll walk away with insights that give you an edge. 

Why This AMA Matters

Many aspiring UI/UX designers get stuck in the cycle of applying and hearing nothing back. Others struggle with imposter syndrome, feeling they don’t have enough experience to compete. But here’s the truth: you don’t need years of experience to get hired—you need the right approach.
