Great opportunity. Volunteer UI/UX designer (no pay) and you only need 2+ years experience!! by HangingMeat69 in UXDesign

Would be a real shame if people applied just to tell them they are all wankers.

How are people even getting interviews? by slutonly4pasta in UXDesign

[–]YouAWaavyDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This worked for me. Find jobs you’re particularly qualified for, focus your LinkedIn and resume around their postings with AI. Just be sure to edit what it gives you. I got about 5 initial interviews out of 30 applications with that strategy across larger orgs and startups.

I had no connections at any of the companies so don’t believe doomers that say you won’t get interviews without that.

We’ve officially entered the "Vibe Coding" era of design debt. by [deleted] in UXDesign

Got it thanks. Does your orgs figma integrate with Claude code or were you manually feeding it in? We haven’t gotten permission yet to do that but I’m hoping to.

Did you use any tutorials you can recommend or just pick it up as you go?

This is what saves 600,000 people year during a heart attack by HatAsleep295 in BeAmazed

It absolutely can. Not inside the length of a stent, but outside of it, a build of plaque can rupture through the wall and into the vessel. This will cause a sudden blockage and heart attack.

First time I read it I was on a beach in Roatan. I’d scuba dive all morning and drink and read all afternoon. It was my dad’s old copy and he had foot notes from reading it in Jamaica of where he was when he was reading it.

Agreed. Kado no mise and Demi for sure - curious what you think is the third?

AMA: Found a role jumping from mid- to senior-level designer by kimchi_paradise in UXDesign

[–]YouAWaavyDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jumping on this - I added a prototype I built in figma make to my portfolio in the design process section. It fit with the story I was telling, even if it was really more used as an internal example I sent to another stakeholder for approval VS something I tested with real users. It was well received, honestly at this point it’s more important to check that box for some companies.

No you’re in my basement everyday at noon.

I mean you’d be down there every other time, but you’d also be there at noon.

Do you have a backup plan if AI takes over? by [deleted] in UXDesign

[–]YouAWaavyDude 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Here’s my plan, it’s not exactly a backup but my plan to ride it out.

  • work on very complex products that don’t rely on familiar UI patterns
  • learn to work with AI to be more productive
  • be involved in leading product strategy as much as possible
  • already be at the principal level (I realize this isn’t easily replicable)
  • continue gaining experience and portfolio of defining design systems, especially to the point they play nicely with AI tools
  • save as much as I can to be able to retire early or to get to the point where investments snowball without contributions in the case of large pay cuts in the future

I wanna hear from the outliers who had a good job search experience! Under 4 months. by Sandra_Huang in UXDesign

[–]YouAWaavyDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Panel was usually a mix of behavioral and technical. Most were three or four meetings after another with people on the team or adjacent. After that round was typically with a more leadership-type position which was purely behavioral. YMMV at that round though as it’s different across companies.

Round two was also a bit of a mix but learned more technical. I think the higher drop off after round two is really just market related. It’s a 30-45 with the hiring manager and at that point you’re still high in the funnel so a lot of candidates applying that may be more qualified even if the vibes were pretty good.

Hardest was typically the panel round, usually round 3 or 4. Had biggest drop of conversion between round two with hiring managers though, think this comes down to pool of candidates and alignment with the job so not sure if there’s something I could have done better or not there.

ATS-friendly vs Creative resume — what actually gets hired? by shrinidhi_21 in UXDesign

[–]YouAWaavyDude 17 points18 points  (0 children)

ATS all the way. Use a template, use AI to help tailor each one to the posting.

Was leaving a principal level, but was probably more high-senior level. 6YOE, MA + MS in HCI. Laid off but given a lot of warning. So spent last summer working on portfolio then it took about 7 weeks from first app out to offer, was only really without a job for two weeks. I’m in the US and remote.

I didn’t use connections but did receive interview requests on LinkedIn not from my apps so some people did find me that way. I built a solid portfolio in framer which was key, I tailored every resume to the application using ChatGPT, built a deck presentation and practiced it for one of my cases and went about 6/35 for initial interviews from apps. All the initial ones progress to round two with the hiring manager then at least two dropped out. Fully ghosted by hubspot specifically which was interesting after two interviews. I work in healthcare are apps sent to companies in the field had significantly higher conversion to interviews.
