"UI Design: The best decision I made"

Only one month after finishing the UI Design course, I landed a job as a Junior UX/UI Designer in Berlin. Having crossed paths with CareerFoundry (CF) was the best decision in my Professional Career.

I have a background in Communication and Media Design.... Read More

A friend of mine was taking the UX course and he recommended me to talk with a CF Agent, to discuss my possibilities since I was unemployed and they offer collaboration with the Federal Employment Agency.

From the first phone call, I immediately felt connected and welcomed. The information provided about the course was completely transparent and clear, so I enrolled for the full-time UI Design course.

I was somehow resilient about studying online since I like to be around people and it demanded the same time as a regular job. Nevertheless, the support and advice from my tutor, my mentor, and the CF team, made me feel always accompanied.

I was also fortunate to attend events at the headquarters in Berlin to network with other students. However, there is an active CF Slack community and no matter where you are, you can always connect and seek advice.

The contents and exercises are very well structured. The approach of creating portfolio-ready projects helped considerably for the job search. Even if I had already design training, I believe that anyone can follow and learn fast.

One month before finishing the UI Design course, I started with the Job Prep course, which I truly believe is the key to finding a job. My mentor gave extremely useful advice to improve my Portfolio, my Resume and prepare for interviews.

I consider that my experience in Communication Design helped considerably to land my current job as a Junior UX/UI Designer. Although at CF I learned the tools and practices for the current demands in the tech world environment.

I extremely recommend enrolling in the course and discovering a new world of possibilities!
