We filmed this video in December (hence the holiday sweater) and of course I procrastinated until February to publish 😅 Thank you for watching this video. Anything else you'd like to see in the future?

I immensely enjoy how personal and casual your content is, but I also dig this approach.

In particular, I admire how you and Loren tackled the subject of learning, interning, and interviewing through their processes.

As someone who's between self-learning and being career-ready, this reaffirmed what all I've heard of other people's experiences in content design/UX writing and alleviated my imposter syndrome.

This is so well done; I love hearing the stories of how other people broke into the field, as nobody has the same set path!

As a aspiring UX writer, it was great to know other people journey in Ux writing . You asked some great questions on intership, interview preparation and mentor. The whole interview was so wholesome. I made notes .
1.Using LinkedIn for finding opportunities.
2.Resume to highlight relevant experience in writing.
3.Watch YouTube videos and research interviewers.
4.Prepare for behavioral questions and specific writing assignments.
5. Learning from your collegues and importance of mentor in guidance.
6.Choosing internship best suited for you .
