I want to transition out of the job I do. (Oil and Gas worker) 3/3 rotation. The luxury of my job, is I get 3 weeks off to do whatever I want, which will allow me plenty of time to work on UI/X design. The downside…I work for 3 weeks away on an oil rig that has dodgy Wi-Fi and I have a handful of hours to myself in a day, so it’s utterly impossible to work in the evenings after a 12 hour grind. I did think this though, would it be possible to start taking on smaller UI/X gigs to build my portfolio in the beginning, then when I leave for offshore, just switch my store to holiday mode? I can’t commit to long projects for obvious reasons. Is there room in UI/UX design for designers to take on smaller gigs or do these projects take forever to complete generally?

I would many questions to follow up on this workflow video, but I think I need to see this process with examples (actual designs) as well as actual real-life scenarios. If every functionality/section of a product lives in a separate file, then how do you test user flows crossing multiple features? What do you do when a feature gets an update? Do you go to another file to update it there as well? You've never mentioned a components library which is a huge part of this whole puzzle! But I can see a huge potential in this system, thank you!

you cant win in that platform with that hourly rate vs ASIAN not unless you build your credibility or you get a job that preferred workers from the US. the tactics of most people that in upwork is to work very cheap at first then after building your 5 star reviews and have some job history, thats the time that you will charge higher gradually to your desired hourly rate

Hey Kyle just found your channel been enjoying these videos! Quick question for you! I’m someone in the midst of this career change. When it comes to standing out during applications, how much weight do you think soft skills carry? For example I am coming from a music production background. So I have great communication skills, great collaborator, have pitched ideas to label executives, spoken on panels, managed song projects from concept to creation. I know a lot of this Carries over like speaking to stakeholders etc. do you think all that holds weight on my resume? Or am I over valuing that? Appreciate the time! Look forward to more content

Hello kyle, I just saw some of your videos on KZread. I liked your videos very much. You have been uploading videos on KZread since 2020.According to this, your subscribers are very less. If you upload videos regularly and enhance the quality of your videos and thumbnails, then you will be able to grow on KZread very quickly. I can help you grow on KZread. I can enhance your videos better than before. If you have time, we can talk in a meeting.

Something you've missed in this is that on many of these calls, clients are now asking for freelancers to perform design challenges first. Assuming that because you are getting a meeting you are going to get an offer is a huge assumption to make in this job environment. Clients on Upwork have started utilizing some of the same strategies bigger companies are now using, namely interviewing way more and making candidates jump through hoops that weren't there in the past.

Hello, I am a beginner in graphic designing and cant even think of freelancing cuz of its competitive nature so I am letting myself to look for internships first to gain some hands on experience on projects. I have developed deep passion in this work that I also want to learn Ui/Ux, can a beginner in graphic design learn ui/ux or should I wait and gain some experience and then learn ui ux?
@brittanyk9577Ай бұрын
Oh, you definitely can! In fact, I would recommend it imo. There is quite a bit of overlap between graphic design and UI/UX, and learning UX while learning graphic design can strengthen your skills in both, making you a stronger candidate for higher paying jobs. I started off as a graphic designer and I wish I had started learning UX/UI from the beginning. Being skilled in graphic design can make you a strong UX/UI designer because it equips you with a deep understanding of both aesthetics and functionality. For instance, the principles of design you apply to making visually appealing graphics are also fundamental in creating user-friendly interfaces.

Interesting video, but realistically speaking, it's not a good argument. You had crazy things in your favor here: You made a presentation video with studio level of quality, which *most* of the people wouldn't have. Having a high quality presentation video brings a lot of credibility and trust to your brand, which not everyone has the possibility to even afford renting such equipments or a space to record a video. Plus, you had crazy good looking projects that no way a truly beginner in UX/UI Design with just some months of studying/experience would be able to make. If you had beginner looking projects instead of essentially cheating using your knowledge of a senior designer, you surely wouldn't get answers even if weeks had passed. Yet, although having these massive things at your favor, you still suffered to get even 3 responses from potential clients, and still, *it wasn't* guaranteed to be a job. Although you said it was, you went ahead of yourself and judged the current times with the logics of your past experience. Back then receiving and going in a call could mean a job acquired, but it may not be and likely isn't the same today. So realistically speaking, it not at all viable to get jobs at Upwork. The lesson I take from this video is "Become a senior UX/UI Designer, and then *maybe* you'll have a chance to get a low paying freelance job".

In general, the video is very good, but sending out a lot of proposals now is hard on your pocket) 23 connections for many vacancies, this is not what you want to see. 15 dollars is 5 applications, 5 applications are just nothing, if you spend 100 dollars to get a job for 500 dollars - 10% Upwork commission. It doesn't look too impressive, but I agree it's better than nothing!
