Mentor-mentee meetup #5 - Navigating UX and Product job market
Employed.world is a job seeker community in Germany and we are hosting our mentor-mentee meetup at BARD College Pankow.
About our community:
in the current job market there are many highly capable people finding it hard to navigate the market and often feel that the journey is isolated. No matter if you are a junior, mid level, senior, new manager or even a leader. Imposter syndrome, self doubts and often lack of support are among many hurdles one faces.
Example questions you can ask:
What’s wrong in my CV / what can I improve?
How do I stand out from job applicants / find my strengths ?
How to finish the portfolio or what to improve?
I am looking for a job since long time or was affected by layoff and feel a burn out, what should I do?
Our Support:
We help people, who are in this situation, by connecting them with emphatic mentors, job coaches and professionals working currently or in the past worked for companies in Berlin and contributed to hiring process, by also connecting you with current hiring managers so you can get the opportunity to seek guidance and feedback based on the challenges that you are personally facing. We spoke with job seekers and found out that many are lacking transparent feedback on their profile, job applications, some may need guidance to understand their super power and so they can stand out from other 100s of applicants or some might feel there are too little job opportunities in the market that they are looking for, then what is the strategy to find or even create roles for you?
