welcome back to my channel 2020 has been a heck of a year and as i bet we're all hoping this
one will be a lot different we've seen a lot of changes recently especially in terms of the way
people now work with more of us working from home than ever before by the way
if you are working from home how are you finding it let me know in the comments below for those new
to remember working or a seasoned pro i'm here to support you in your search for remote ux ui
job role when people are able to return to working from the office again
most of the advice that i'm giving will still be helpful as it's all around landing a job in tech
hello and for those of you who are new to my channel let me introduce myself my name is Jadene
and i'm a user experience designer and i make videos about design, research and accessibility
in this video i'm going to tell you how to find a remote ux job i've mentioned finding a ux ui role
as in some cases it is required to have some experience in ui design i've made this video
all part of a series on remote working where i will take you through how to find a remote ux job
what to put in your ux portfolio ux interview questions and remote interview tips but first
let's start with how to find a remote ux job as the job you decide to apply for
will influence what you put in your portfolio and the type of questions that you should prepare for
as a bit of context for you in my previous role i was based in an office until the pandemic hit
last year and with many other people i've moved to working from home in march you may have seen
my first video which talks about my working from home routine my previous employers saw that the
company was working well from home and decided to change the company structure to be fully remote
then fast forward to the end of last year i started a new role where i was interviewed
and on board remotely i've not met a single person in person yet so i am coming to you
with a range of experience going through the whole job application and onboarding process
remotely having done that i'm now equipped with plenty of tips and advice do you support you to
So the same too so the reason you're here is to find out where to find these remote ux jobs
and finding one is simpler than you think as popularity increases job boards rise to
meet the demand and are specializing in remote careers here are some to name a few flex jobs
flex jobs was created in 2007 to find a better way of providing professional remote and flexible job
roles with over 50 career categories and jobs ranging from entry level to executive freelance
to full-time they offer something for almost anyone then we have remote.com founded by the same
woman as flexjobs remote co helps companies hire remote employees they have helpful blogs q as for
employers and employees and job listings too we work remotely trusted by the world's leading tech
companies this online board allows job seekers to look for jobs that are unrestricted by location
and consistently being updated remote okay remote okay provide a daily listing of remote employment
opportunities you can sign up to receive email updates when new jobs in your category are posted
in addition to online job boards there is social media now i've not come across jobs advertised
on youtube but if you take a walk over to twitter you may or may not be surprised to find companies
and individuals promoting job vacancies design twitter i found is incredibly supportive
so if you can't see many job opportunities start to follow designers at companies that
you're interested in working at also follow the companies themselves and don't be afraid about
a tweet explaining that you're looking for a ux role and see if design twitter can help you
don't forget to hashtag ux as this will increase your visibility but it's not all take take take
make sure that you give back to the community by retweeting others and interacting with their
content too through doing this you can build some good friendships and meet other designers
over twitter as i've found. Facebook groups would be my next social media recommendation join UX
/ UI facebook groups and like twitter interact with the community make friends
and seek out job opportunities and finally under the umbrella of social media i have saved the
best for last and that is linkedin if you've not seen my previous videos you may or may not know
of my love for linkedin especially when it comes to finding UX job roles, i dare say that in
some cases the job will find you as i've been connected to three roles through linkedin here
you're able to create a profile search current vacancies and connect with recruiters who often
are able to bring great opportunities to you. You still have to do the work on your cv portfolio and
interview prep but the finding of the role is made a lot easier with their help and there you have it
now you have a few places to look for your remote jobs pay careful attention to the
application requirements as this will give you a good idea of what to include in your portfolio
look out for my next video on what to include in your ux design portfolio where i'll break it down
into detail and give you a structure to work with if you haven't already please subscribe
