How to Land Your First UX Role

Breaking into UX requires a focused portfolio, practical project stories, and clarity on your design process.

Start by presenting 2-3 case studies that show your problem framing, research, iteration, and measurable outcomes.

Interview preparation should include whiteboard challenges, accessibility questions, and product thinking scenarios.

Networking remains a key accelerator. Connect with mentors, alumni, and hiring managers, and ask thoughtful questions.
