How I Landed My First UX Design Internship
Here's how I went from having no idea what UX was to landing my first internship as a UX/product designer in FOUR months! Hello my friends! 🌱 From coding my own design portfolio to the co-op interview process, today I'm sharing everything I did to get my first internship as a Product Designer with the Ontario Digital Service ✏ Please note that though I refer to my role as an internship, it was TECHNICALLY a 4-month co-op role, while is different from the Ontario Internship Program. A special thanks to Emily Louie for letting me feature her portfolio website (linked down below) ✨ If you have questions or video ideas, please drop them down below in a comment! Reading your comments is honestly my favourite part of doing youtube hehe 🥰 ALSO, I'm definitely gonna try to be more consistent with uploading 😤 I actually filmed this video in Aug 2021, but I just finished editing it yesterday... Stay tuned for more vids to come + thank you for all of your support and patience 💗 Y'all really mean the world to me~ See you soon! 🌷 xoxo, floguo CORRECTION: at 4:26, I meant to say cofolios.com 😅 °。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。°。 ⏳ TIMESTAMPS ⏳ 0:00 intro 0:16 discovering UX design (aug 2020) 2:06 side projects 3:40 building my portfolio 5:25 co-op recruitment 6:28 interview process 9:45 the offer!!! 10:41 thoughts on my co-op 11:21 outro 🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES 🔗 emily louie's portfolio: https://emily.louie.ca/ freecodecamp responsive web development: https://www.freecodecamp.org/learn/re... cofolios.com: https://cofolios.com/ 🌿 SOCIALS 🌿 instagram - / f1oraguo pinterest - https://www.pinterest.ca/f1oraguo/ business inquires - [email protected] 🎵 MUSIC 🎵 Music by Naomi - Tidal Wave - https://thmatc.co/?l=073C1C6D current subs: 946 ❤ tags: ux design, how i became a ux designer with no experience or design degree, breaking into ux design, how i got my internship, university internship, co-op program, waterloo co-op, waterloo engineering student, canadian engineering student, canadian university student, ux design interview process, ux design tips, ux design portfolio, ux design student, ux design internship no experience, how i became a self-taught ux designer, how to get started with ux design #uxdesign #ux #internship #waterloo #coop #internship
