About this opportunity

Breaking into the UX industry as a junior designer can be challenging, but it's not necessary to be unique and innovative to stand out. Instead, focusing on building a concise, clean portfolio that prioritizes scanability and content relevance can help you get noticed. Hiring managers are looking for red flags, so it's important to keep your content minimalist and relevant. Don't treat your portfolio like a personal art project, but rather like a product that end users will be scanning. Keep your case studies brief, high-level, and provide an overview of the project to give hiring managers a solid picture of your work.
