Focus on looking for a new job.
Consider your must-haves, should-haves, could-haves, and wont-haves.
Before you start searching for a new UX role, write a list of the following:
- Must Haves — Non-negotiable needs that are mandatory for your application, i.e. remote.
- Should Haves — Important, not vital; however, add significant value, i.e. existing design team.
- Could Haves — Nice to have that will have a small impact if left out.
- Won’t Haves — Red flags 🚩 and should avoid it if there’s too many.
This is the foundation of your Job Matching Algorithm. Deeply personalised formula that helps you filter out undesirable roles and helps you find the dream UX design role.
Ultimately, you want to find a UX design job that:
✅ Has great people and culture
✅ You’re excited about going in every day
✅ Challenges to make you a better UX designer
Once you find 3-5 job descriptions that have potential:
- Tailor your Portfolio, Resume, and Cover Letter
- Do your research and map your skills to the job description and company values
- Reach out to (ex)employees and find out what it’s like working there
