Landing a job in this market is one of the most challenging aspects of the design industry. The tech industry has experienced more than 300K layoffs. Personally, I have experienced tons of challenges during the pandemic in landing a job and also in making a job switch during this challenging period. Using the strategies I learned over my 7+ years of experience, along with numerous failures and mistakes, I was able to land a job. Many designers reached out to me, asking, "How did you do it?" To answer that question, I wrote this book.


The book is themed around building confidence, which is the most important formula you need to succeed. It also covers best practices and expensive mistakes so you don't miss out on opportunities and can succeed in the job search to land your dream job.
