If your job search has stalled, start here


If your job search has stalled, start here

Most UX designers aren’t struggling because they lack talent or potential.

They’re struggling because they’ve been left to figure out the job search on their own.

Which leads to the same predictable issues every time:

  • resumes that undersell the designer
  • portfolios that read like diaries instead of product stories
  • case studies without impact
  • applications that disappear into the ATS void
  • zero clarity on what hiring managers actually look for

If you’ve been in this cycle, you’re not alone.

It’s the exact pain point I kept seeing in my 1:1 coaching and live workshops, even in designers with years of experience.

The insight:

Once you fix your resume, portfolio, and job search system, progress moves fast:

  • Interviews start appearing.
  • Your story clicks.
  • Your work lands with clarity.
  • You feel in control again.

But most designers never get the chance to fix the system because they’re too busy guessing.


The solution I built for this exact problem

I’ve taken everything I teach in my live cohorts: the frameworks, examples, templates, interview guidance, and the full job search system, and packaged it into a self-paced, on-demand version.

It covers:

  • resume structure (with examples and templates)
  • portfolio strategy and case study breakdowns
  • a complete job search workflow
  • LinkedIn optimization
  • how to tailor applications properly
  • outreach, recruiter messaging, and a job tracker
  • and the real reasons you're not getting interviews

You get instant access, a clean dashboard, easy navigation, and the ability to move at your own pace.

Whether you're actively applying or preparing for early 2026 hiring, this gives you a system that actually works.


If you want to fix your UX job search, this is the fastest way to do it

Inside, you’ll also find:

All the same strategies, templates, and techniques that have helped my live students get interviews in a self-paced format.

If you’ve been wanting clarity, structure, or just a system that stops wasting your time, this is the place to start.

What to Include in Your UX Resume, and What to Leave for the Interview Most designers don’t get rejected because they lack talent. They get rejected because they force the wrong information into the wrong format. A resume has one job: Get you the interview. Not explain every detail of your work. Today’s issue breaks down: What MUST be on your resume What SHOULD be included What you should NOT include What belongs in your case study What to save for the interview voiceover 1. What MUST Be on...

I asked AI to teach me something from scratch. Here’s what happened Most people still think of AI as a tool for shortcuts: rewriting text, generating ideas, summarizing research. This past week, I used AI for something completely different. Something that, even a year ago, would’ve taken me days, or forced me to hire an expert. I built and optimized a Meta ad campaign from scratch. Not because I wanted to suddenly become a paid-ads expert. Absolutely not. But because, for the first time, I...

How I rebuilt a UX resume in 12 minutes If you’ve been pushing hard on your job search, here’s something worth remembering: It’s okay to take a break this week. You don’t lose momentum by resting. You lose momentum by burning out. If you have a little time to focus on your career, make it simple. Pick one high-leverage task. For most designers, that task is tightening up the resume. Last week I rebuilt a UX resume in about 12 minutes using the same structure I teach inside Level Up. The goal...
