I’m just about to finish my portfolio and I’m about to start applying for jobs as a junior UX designer. I don’t have a design (retail) background and I’m relying on my portfolio alone that isn’t extensive. I have only two case studies and as of last month, I’m doing seven different courses with the Interaction Design Foundation. What are my chances?
For an entry-level gig, your chances are as good as anyone else applying for the position. And I can assure you that you’re not the only one in this situation! Twice a year a slew of people graduate from Universities and online programs, and they don’t have any experience either. . . .
