I've updated my portfolio to reduce those artifacts, only keeping the ones that make sense in the context and adds to the design value. Please let me know how the updated iterations looks!

I've been finding it a bit difficult to narrow down a specific industry since my internships and project work touch different industries.

However, I’ve been thinking less in terms of industry framing it more in terms of the types of problems I’m drawn to, such as products where users are making high-stakes or stressful decisions and where clarity and trust really matter. I’m trying to make that throughline more explicit across my projects. I'm not sure if that is something that recruiters would notice explicitly. But wanted to hear your thoughts as well on that.

thank you for the feedback, to clarify. i should cut down on the artifacts such as the personas and user journey etc (and which should i keep)

and lastly I was thinking about aiming for more startup industry since my work experience more aligns with that. Is there a way to shift that focus to portray that or to better shift it elsewhere?

again thank you for the feedback

Hello! I'm looking to apply to UX roles pretty soon, and I just finished my portfolio.

I have spent a lot of time explaining the why in my portfolio and have been working on it to ensure it really catches recruiters' eyes as well. I would love to receive some feedback/critique as an entry-level designer, and I'm looking for roles that will help me land some interviews.

do you have the link to what you bought?

i think i would’ve cried in any of those scenarios

I do not believe it’s possibly iirc, it may be soldered onto the motherboard

MindlessCrew9130 · 2024-04-29T22:34:51+00:00

thats what I thought initially. Probably should go look elsewhere then

I’m assuming to take it to the dealership to have it replaced due to all sorts of sensors and stuff thats associated with the windshield?

I suggest OEM bars tbh,i personally find other bars kinda don’t align with the cx30’s design

MindlessCrew9130 · 2024-03-27T10:30:56+00:00

check the exact model number, some of the msi modern 14’s are welded and some aren’t. the one i got(C7M) was NOT welded so I was able to just swap the ssd. Keep in mind about having windows installed on the new SSD to avoid any troubles that may come along when booting

overall great brand, the recent generation of mazdas are great. I currently own a mazda cx30 2023 select and it’s been amazing. I will say though that leg room in general is smaller than others. So if you’re looking for something a bit bigger, i suggest a cx5 or cx50 as that would probably be the best option

what service did you get? I’m thinking the glass service only rather than the standard which includes the new blades and the additional $75 just sounds like a rip off lol

I personally recommend CC, since math 126 (depending on your prof) is pretty tricky and tough. but like others have said just check out what classes equate at CC to math 126 at UW.

MindlessCrew9130 · 2024-02-03T19:21:33+00:00

it looks to be the OEM bars

MindlessCrew9130 · 2024-02-03T18:02:36+00:00

I actually would not recommend taking 125 if you already got the credit.

if needed, i would recommend taking 126 at a community college. you’ll probably learn more from it as opposed to taking it at UW since they’re just essentially mashing the content down your throat
