I am a 3rd-year designer who transitioned to UI/UX after working in graphics for about 3 years. Although I have 6 years of total professional experience, I had many concerns because I felt my career was strictly at a 3rd-year level in UI/UX, especially since there are far more job openings for Product Designers these days. While I was struggling even to organize my thoughts in writing, I had a Coffee Chat with AnchaReady. They provided detailed guidance on what I was lacking from an external perspective and how to set my direction! So, I waited for the challenge to open and applied as soon as it did. This challenge made me realize that my organization of quantitative and qualitative data was insufficient, partly due to the nature of my current company. The mentor's feedback was a huge help, but working as a team was truly great! It was an environment where thorough feedback was exchanged freely, and we looked out for each other to ensure no one lagged behind, allowing us to accomplish a lot over the 3 weeks. In particular, being able to see other students' work while progressing provided an environment where I could observe, contemplate, and develop my own work. If I had done it alone, I think writing would have been much more difficult than it is now. In 3 weeks, I completed my resume, finished writing the main project for my portfolio, and completed the draft for my sub-project; I think I can start the visualization work soon. Despite doing this while working at my current job, I was able to get more done than expected, making it a very satisfying challenge. Even after the challenge ends, I plan to continue exchanging feedback with my teammates to finish the visualization and start applying for jobs. I would recommend this to anyone considering a career move, not just aspiring Product Designers. While the process might be more specialized toward Product, I believe it covers all the core steps necessary for job change preparation, so there should be no problem applying it regardless of the field! Since the mentor has a background in the HR domain, I believe they will be a great help even if your job function is different, so I recommend this to everyone preparing for a career move!

Sowooju's lecture was truly great!! I finally finished listening to everything on the last day and am leaving a review... I loved how you explained everything in such detail and specifically!! I'm rooting for your future!! I will also work hard on my projects!! Thank you to Sowooju and the Inflearn staff for planning such a great lecture!!

Working as a planner for three years at a startup, I had been preparing my portfolio little by little since last year. However, once I quit my job and began the job search in earnest, I felt completely overwhelmed. I took paid portfolio courses and tried to complete mine by referencing videos, but I lacked confidence in whether I was heading in the right direction. Especially with the job market being so tough, I felt a lot of anxiety about whether my career and experiences were actually competitive. Then, I happened to come across a free lecture. After learning about the coach's career—spanning not just design but also HR experience—I decided to pay for the program without any hesitation. Now that I've finished the challenge, my first thought is a deep sense of regret: "If only I had met the coach while I was still working in the field." Through this process, my perspective as a planner has shifted beyond just the technical skills of building a portfolio. I've developed a mindset where problem situations that used to feel burdensome are now seen as opportunities for growth. Most importantly, I loved being able to clearly learn the fundamental process of problem-solving. From JD analysis to resumes and project descriptions, this was by far the highest quality and most practically helpful feedback I have ever received, including all the paid lectures I've taken in the past.

While working as a designer, I felt like I needed a reset. After watching the free live session, I had a feeling this was exactly what I needed, so I made a big decision to enroll in the course. It was incredibly helpful because you pointed out the flawed perspectives I had held until now and guided me on what kind of mindset I should have to organize my work and how to prepare. I’ve just been going with the flow all this time, but now I feel like I have at least some sense of how to prepare moving forward. I really appreciated the constant encouragement throughout the challenge. Being told that 100% completion wasn't the ultimate goal helped me participate with much less pressure. Also, watching the other participants made me realize that adopting their mindset and perspective would be beneficial for me, and it made me want to continue networking with them! The challenge is over now, but I will keep updating my work based on everything you’ve taught me and the reference materials provided!! Thank you :)
