I am looking into a uxui boot camp and narrowed it down to Springboard, Designlab and Avocademy due to affordability. Does anyone have any negative critiques that could help eliminate a program?
I learned the music production, graphic design and professional photography on my own, but made many mistakes along the way, hence, my interest in a program.
Iâve heard about Springboard and it sounds pretty good. However, I canât answer your question because I didnât take a bootcamp course. Iâve pinned your comment so that other viewers can see and respond to your questions đ
Iâm in Avocademy I love it
@@talanceastevenson8730 I'm leaning towards Avocademy because it's price point and because I have an MBA in Business, but I'm also reluctant because it's a newer program and there is not enough information online about it. Is your mentor industry knowledgeable? How many real business portfolios will you have upon project completion? Anything else you'd like to add would be helpful
@@angelcamus393 well there is two programs if you take the foundations you will have one project on your portfolio , I also took designlab but I left and joined Avocademy, mentors are nice some of them are past students, Iâll tell you more in a few when I wake all the way up lol
@@talanceastevenson8730 I was just looking at designlab what made you leave them and try avoacademy?
Iâm in Course 2 of the Google UX Design Certificate and itâs so comforting listening to someone who graduated from the same program and landed a role.
You got this đđŒđđŒ
Same here
did you finish it?
Is the course of google ux design free?
You're one of the rare CZcamsrs who actually put out info that is important and not just repeating everything that others already said. Thank you so much for teaching me something new today and helping me improve!
Thanks for the support and comment â€ïž
Agree, there are so many others trying to selling their courses but no real information. Thank you Alina!
This video is made for everyone who's working to become a UX designer đ I hope it's helpful! (And I kinda hate myself for pronouncing "role" as "rule" but you probably understand what I meant.)
Hai alinea you are doing great job!
i have done a 6 months certification course in UX UI Design and now i am looking for career upgrade could you please suggest me any master course in ux or somthing advanced ux course .Thank youđ
Especially in UX Design / Product design.
Thanks a lot Aliena for each video you make, you are so helpful and every advice is important and means a lot to me đ€ I'm currently studying the Google certificate, and about finishing it so your videos are on the goal for me..thx again, and I just want to know how can I find a real client to work my real portfolio study case?
I appreciate what you said in the end, "...if you can improve a little bit in design every single day, then there is no way you cannot find a design role". Very motivating. Loved this video! New to your channel and I'm already hooked.
I'm currently in a UX design bootcamp and the ocean of new designers is quite overwhelming, that worries me for when I will need to job hunt.
Thank you so much for your support â€ïž I totally feel you when you said "the ocean of new designers", the competition is so high in junior/new design roles but it's going to worth the effort đ
interviews are like flirting, match the energy of the recruiter, speak their langage, be confident, and definitely know what u are talking about.
I just discovered ur channel, great job Aliena, these tips are so good to hear !!
Well said! đâ€ïž Thank you for the kind words đ
Aliena! I have to thank you for making this video. After 1 week of following your advice Iâve gotten more than 12 call requests with recruiters and 3 going into hiring manger interviews so far. All in just 5 days. Thank youđ
Oh my god đ Iâm so so so so so happy to hear this! Itâs still hard for me to give advice like this because I often worry about what if the tips that work for me wonât work for someone else. Iâm so glad that this info has been helpful and all the best with your interviews!!
@brandoncastillo8316 can we connect pls I m newbie
You're the first person that I've seen who finished the google certificate and got a job! thank you so much for sharing these! awesome tips and advice!
Thank you â€ïž
@@AlienaCai hi mam .. im from India.. i have one doubt.. I'm a diploma student in information technology... 2014 passed out.. i was worked irrelevant sector past 7 yrs.. now I want switch my career into ui ux designer. It is a good decision mam? Bcoz my age is 26.. now this is correct age for change Career path.. pls advise..and really ui and UX design have scope in future??
@@keerthivasan9807 Hey. UX is definitely growing in India and now is a good time to switch careers. For India-specific UX questions, I recommend Saptarshi Prakash's CZcams channel (czcams.com/users/saptarshipr)
I wish I could have watched this video earlier! I made so many mistakes while looking for a UX designer job in 2024. Thanks for your sharing, those tips are so helpful!!
I'm studying UX through google atm. Watching your videos makes me feel like I have a UX big sister. Thanks â€ïž
Iâve been applying to UX Design roles for the past 2 months, with no luck. Watching your videos always give me hope and make me feel more motivated! Thanks for all the great tips đ
You got this!
Congrats Aliena!!! It's so uplifting to see you successfully land on your first full-time job. I subscribed to your channel several months ago when I was feeling desperate and confused about my own career path, trying to learn more to enter the field of UX design. The first video that I watched from you was your review on Google UX Certificate course, which truly helped me a lot. Now I've finished 5 of them, and I'm also getting close to landing on my first internship role as a UX designer. I was encouraged by your positive attitudes, and all the information you shared really helped me a lot throughout my own journey. I always believed that you would definitely get hired one day with your strong passion about UX design, and now I'm feeling sincerely happy for you to see it finally comes true! Wish you all the best with your work :)
Omggggg thank you so much for this comment! Iâm so proud of you and all the best to your career â€ïžâ€ïž Landing that first internship will help you so much with improving portfolio and getting a full time job. I believe you can do this! đđđ
Thank you, Aliena - this is just the pep talk I needed today! I also completed the Google UX Design Certificate and have been looking for a job for the last few weeks. It's such a slog! And can be so disheartening at times. I'm going to keep at it and, hopefully, I'll have some success soon. đ€
Thank you for sharing your experience. All the best, do't forget to leave another comment when you have a good news đ
How long takes you?
Like 2 min in, and youâve cracked the case on my job hunt struggles! Iâm not passing the AI screen because my resume is too fancy. đ©
You are the most helpful, amazing, adorable person EVER!!! Thank you for pulling back the curtain and sharing everything!! YOURE THE BESTđđđđđđ
And thank you so much for the support and comment â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïžđ
I just finished my case study today and the feeling of completing it was so overwhelming! The experience of learning was so great and your videos keeps me motivated to continue my work..
I'm so glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Aliena you are sharing real experiences not just from the book, dts why its matters a lot. keep it up and keep us more knowledgable.
Thank you so so much! You comment means a lot to me. Will keep going đ
This video showed you put in a whole lot of research and storytelling into it! Best videos ever. You've got yourself a for lifer!
Thank you so so much for the support â€ïž
Thankyou for sharing videos in a raw format. I love how you stick to point and not make it overwhelming and add these supporting notes.. I usually don't write comments but you make me do it to appreciate you... Thanks a Ton!!!
Excellent content! Just had my first interview with Google today and found your interviews quite helpful for preparing in general. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful! I hope it went well đ
Aliena I want to give you million likes and million thanks. Your content is one of the best I've found so far
Thank you so so much Eugenia. I'm glad it was helpful!
I am also doing the Google course and was just skimming through it putting bare minimum effort because I have applied to graduate program for the same and didn't realise that this course could actually add value to my skillset. After looking at your journey and your portfolio, you changed my out look towards it. Now I am gonna try and do better.
Thank you so much! You can definitely learn a lot from this course. Regarding graduate program, please make the most out of the real life and collaborative projects that they allow you to do đ
@@AlienaCai WIll do !!!! Your videos are helping me a lot to prepare for the same. Keep it up. Your channel is by far the best.
This video is really REALLY useful!!!
People, take notes, she speaks truth! I wish I had a chance to watch this video many years ago!
I saved this video for future and also liked it!
Thank you so much for the support â€ïž
This is so precious! Thanks for this content, Aliena! I'm on my way on becoming a UX Designer developing my first case to my portfolio, and sometimes I tend to lose hope due to this huge amount of requirements and pressure that falls on the beginners. I wanted to ask you if with just one project I have real chances. If that is the case, how to manage it to work as my "showcase"?
First of all, thank you so much for your comment and support! With your question, I suggest that you can apply to things while working on maybe another case study (it can be a 1 week case study that redesigns a feature of a popular app. Check one this video for example: czcams.com/video/lHQ_0_lAdT0/video.html
I understand that it could be very difficult fo motivate yourself through the process. Donât give up! Hope this helps đ
SĂł nĂŁo pare de cantar, Douglas!
Wow.... I was happy just seeing the title oG the video. Not just for you but for myself as well. I want to take the google course and I'm not sure how employable I'll be after that. I'm glad to hear how far you've come... Cheers
Thank you so much â€ïž All the best to your career!
I am on this jorney to migrane to UX and UI design, and this video helped me a lot. I am really happy that I found it because now I have another perspective about how to apply to opportunities. You are doing a great job in yout channel, keep going! and thank you so much!
Glad it helped and best of luck! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
Such a great video!! Itâs so easy to get heads down in applying and not immerse yourself in designing, but thatâs counterintuitive Iâm learning. Thank you for the advice!! đ§Ą
Absolutely!! Thanks for the comment â€ïž
Hi Aliena! Thanks for sharing this information. I am a full time Graphic Design and I am currently studying the Google UX certification program. Hopefully for the next few years, I will transfer to be a UI/UX designer. Love your videos!!
Glad it was helpful! If you are a graphic designer, I believe this transition can be done within a year đ„ All the best!
@@AlienaCai Thank you!
Dude u r a real utuber now im cryinggggg. It has been a long way since filming on india rooftop lol
Dude thank you and you shall sleep earlier! Love from Seattle â€ïž
The semi-subtitles were good tbh great work hope to gain more valuable insights from you on daily basis
Thank you for the feedback đâ€ïž
Everything you say is so relatable. I'm currently on the 5th course of the certification.
Keep going!
This has been one of the best, and most helpful videos for people who are just getting into UX! Thank you so much!!
Iâm glad itâs helpful. Thank you!
Congratsss!! I am also the second group like you. I will still in the job hunt but Ive been joining communities and connecting with designers and that has been helpful. As always, super great tips great video!! U deserve the best, can't wait to hear more about your experience working as UX designer! Thank you and stay safe
You got this! Thanks so much for the support and wish you all the best â€ïž
Aliena , honestly this video is one of the best career videos on youtube.It will really help freshers in this fieldđ
Thank you so much for the comment and the support! I'm glad it helped đ
Wow, this video is really realistic tips for finding first jobs!!! Thank you so much :)đ
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful. Thank you Aliena
Youâre welcome đ
you gave us some real advices. Thanks a lot!
UX design jobs are very few and not really on-demand. So if you're just starting out, I highly recommend finding another career.
Don't waste your time.
It is indeed competitive. I know a lot of people have to work on a side project to make a living while developing their skills in design and finding a role. Definitely not easy to enter for new designers.
Thanks alot for the information! đ
Glad it was helpful!
Despite possibly just landing a new job (none UX) - I canât wait to get my first real UX job đđ»
Congrats! And I wish you the best â€ïž
@@AlienaCai Job hunting really is soul crushing đ©
I am just starting my UX Design journey through the Google UX Design course. Thanks for sharing and giving people insight on what to expect and prepare for, as it really does help. Keep up the great work and best of luck on your UX journey!
Glad it was helpful!
I was really waiting for this video and I believed that you will find a job soon, and I'm really REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU, you are an amazing person and you deserve this and more, so congratulations
Thank you soooo much! â€ïžâ€ïžâ€ïž
This is one of the best videos I've seen... It's so helpful đ

You are so helpful thank you so much! đ I am completing the Google course now. Love your videos!
Thanks Aliena for making this amazing video, which gives the junior designer lots of hope and suggestion. Keep improving yourself and one day your time will come :)
Thank you and one day your time will come as well đ„°
I absolutely love your videos. This was super helpful alongside my UX journey. Youâre awesome Aliena!!!
I'm so glad! Thank you so much for the support â€ïž
you know, thereâs so many videos and guides online that tell you how to become and to get a job but youâre the only one i trust, itâs like your energy is sincere and you truly want to help people step their foot in this career. thank you for that. iâm in an 1 year bootcamp (ends in october), iâm in some slacks but i havenât worked in real life projects YET and havenât really started networking. i predict iâll start applying around may and june maybe? just diving in haha iâm just waiting for when i feel confident with my skills because iâve never worked in my life and i know the anxiety would kick in if iâm not prepared lmao ok long text. thank you thank you for this video youâre an angel đ„ș
as a question: do you feel more comfortable doing ux or ui?
Hi there, my work experience is also close to zero before I enter the field of UX. I understand the self doubt and fear you are having. I had that too, and Iâm proud of what you are doing now. Regarding your question, Iâm comfortable with both UX and UI, but more excited about UX đđ
@@AlienaCai your words are so encouraging, thanks! and eng isnât my first language so yeah i meant being excited about one đ personally i feel the same, ux is some lively stuff
Thank you for sharing! This is so helpful and provides a different angle about uxd resume! Looking forward to see more!
Thanks for the support â€ïž
Nice video! I'm about to complete my Google certification course and I'm excited. A lot of up and downs but I'm excited!
You got this!

How long does it takes for you from course 1 ot 7?

Congrats đđŸđđ Keep it up đđŒđđŒ
Your info is always useful! Thanks so much Aliena and I am happy for you as well! :D
You're so welcome! Thank you soooo much for the support â€ïž
Its also been hard finding internships as a college grad as as many of them are selective for those that still in undergrad.
I totally feel you!! I'm also a new college grad and didn't get into any internships that I applied tođ Don't give up, I did a project on the side and used indeed to find the full time role. It wasn't easy for sure.
You are amazing. sharing amazing content and insightful reviews. Fingers crossed... i hope i get my first Design job like you also... it has been close to a year now for me and still nothing.
Thank you!! This was very helpful :) still working on the Google course
Glad it was helpful!

Thank you and me too! I'm super glad that you feel that way. Good luck with the certificate and you got this đ„
Love this Video!!!!! Thanks for providing Hope
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the wonderful tips you just gave
I appreciate đđŒđđđ
Thank you for sharing, it helps me greatly. I love your channel.đ„°đ„°đ„°
I'm so glad!
Thank you for the motivation. I just got rejected for an internship before the interview đ« definitely low on morale.
I'm sorry to hear that. I got rejected to tons of jobs before the interviews too. Don't give up.
Hi Aliena! It's a great video! I gain a lot of insight as a person who still learn on UX Design and one thing I always wondering is that "Is the social media presence important?" like you create an Instagram account that share's insight, or etc? It will be helpful if you can reply it! Thanks!
This is a great question. For me, social media presence (CZcams) helped me a lot in my job search. Most of my interviewers have seen my CZcams videos and I had a greater chance of getting opportunities because of this channel. However, I strongly suggest you think about what you like to do and your personal strengths before jumping into creating a Instagram account and sharing insights. I still think the most important thing we need to have is strong design skill and good projects. Media is a leverage to present our design skills and projects, but the foundation is still design skill and projects đ Hope this helps â€ïž
@@AlienaCai Wow! That's a great answer! I always doubt starting Instagram Account and thinking that HR won't take a look at it, but your answer makes me feel comfortable to move forward. Thank's! đ
@@AlienaCai Hello Aliena, i saw your video, it was very inspiring, i have been studying ux design for sometime now, in fact i am doing the same course that you did, the google ux course from coursera, i am also learning how to use figma, i am studying all sorts of tutorials on youtube and trying to understand how to design different components, practicing those tutorials, the most difficult part for me while working in figma is the interaction design, making components interactive and responsive is very time consuming and challenging, but i am getting there, i wanted to ask you while studying ux design were you involved with social media groups, people who have same interests as you, if so i would like to join them, i need help, i need people to critique my work and give me feedback so i can quickly improve, if you can share some links to communities that i can join to share ideas i would be very grateful.
@@iftekharulhaque2697 I recommend you look up Slack groups. There are a ton of them for volunteer work, networking, hackatons, etc., they are free and they tend to be more professional than Facebook groups, at least in my experience.
@@mercedesm.dipaola3146 where do i find them?
Thank you so much for this video! Great information and tips.
Glad it was helpful!
Very great, straight to the point video.
Hi Aliena, thank you for always providing such great content! I'm currently doing the UX design certificate and I'm on the 6th course. I also skimmed through course 7 and it looks like weeks 1-4 are a repetition of the past topics. Course 6 week 6 talks about resume building and they suggested using a design tool. I'm so glad I watched your video and I will take your advice.
No worries at all! I used design tools at first. But still turned out better to use Google doc đ
Very kind of you to show all this
very kind of you to leave a comment
I love this, thank you so much for the advice. I also just finished the Google ux course and starting to look for work! Hasn't been easy for sure. Thanks for the encouragement, this was so helpful! :)

I got the 2 column CV made with a design tool and now I'm wondering how many possible opportunities I missed in the past. Thanks for the advice. đ
I've seen many people with the 2 column CV being successful too. Didn't worked out to me. You can give it a try for the 1 column ones and updating the content again. Wish you all the best đ
Thank you so much! This is what I need right now :)
Glad I could help! You got this đđ„đ„

Ahh Aliena, I see you also fell victim to ATS rejection in the past comrade. I have been there too and saw a huge rise in my number of interviews as a UI/UX Designer when I stuck with the good old Google Doc.
