How I got my first UX job! ( bootcamp graduate )

Hello everyone!

I wanted to make this for my fellow bootcamp grads/ Latinx designers out there. When I began this journey it was really hard to find information about the industry from people who looked like me.

This process was extremely difficult and strenuous but getting that first offer letter felt like a dream.

Thank you for everyone who helped along the way.

If you have any questions, would like a portfolio review, or a 1:1 meeting please reach out via email

or on Linkedin

Yo thank you for this. I’m starting springboard’s UI/UX design boot camp next month and this video was super informative!

I am considering doing the program as well and so glad to see that it did something good for you. I don’t have a degree at all so this was helpful to my decision.

THis is great but the music is so loud I don't think you need it. Everything thing you're saying is really valuable already.

Hello Jacob!! Do you happen to know if people with a college degree had an easier time finding a job? If so, do you know what people usually study? Graphic Design? Industrial Design?

[TridentEditing]

Were there a lot of graduate students in your bootcamp?

[DanielAlvarez-euqb]

I graduate with a degree in design this summer!!!! Need help finding a job thanks!

Please share what types of jobs you applied for because it's hard finding an entry level ux design job.

In Thinkful now. Hope to connect in the field. May have some questions. In LA area too!

Would you, in your own personal opnion, think that someone with no knowledge as to what UI or UX designers were or did, could possibly be one?
