Breaking Into UX Writing: Going From Student to Senior in Under a Year

In September of 2021, I decided to become a UX writer. I enrolled in a 6-month course and got hired in a full-time contract position in March of 2022. After only two months, they offered me a full-time position as a Senior Content Designer. If I can do it, you can, too! Be prepared to leave this talk both inspired and prepared to build a realistic strategy for success.

• A sample career roadmap (mine!)
• Tips on growing your skills, visibility, and reputation
• Actionable advice for what to do once you’ve landed the job to get promoted or hired full-time
