I'm now at the point in my UI design journey where after a year and a half I need to go work under someone else and get hired in the field to learn and get started. Looking for any freelance, contract and entry level 1 to 2 years of experience roles. Thanks so much for any leads or thoughts on this!

Hi Jessie! I don't know about any roles right now but here's a bunch of UX resources including job boards that I compiled: https://www.convergeguide.com/ux-design-101 Quick tip: In your about page (or really anywhere) get rid of any mentions of your bootcamp. Highlight yourself as a UX designer, it doesnt matter where you learned. "Bootcamps" are kinda stigmatized and I'd only mention if asked where you learned. But focus on WHY you fell in love with UX and what draws you to your solutions.

@Haskinselena Also, thank you so much:) Sincere question: this job above you mentioned: could I apply? I have basic Figma knowledge for sure and I'm available. Let me know what you think.
