To me, mentorship is the most important ingredient to a successful transition. Not only does it give you the critical perspective and the much-needed guidance, but it also serves as the best accountability partner that is essential when you’ll start doubting your journey (and it will happen!). You need some authority in your life!
<aside> 💌 Hey, Ioana!
I am Jane and I’m currently a Content Manager working within the Digital Team of ING Bank.
A couple of months ago I discovered your Instagram page, UX Goodies, and since then I’ve learned a lot from your content. I particularly liked your recent post about the UX process, because it made me reconsider my understanding of the linear stages in design. It was thought-provoking and brought clarity around something that felt confusing to me.
I also discovered that we share a similar professional past, which gave me the courage to reach out to you.
I am currently studying UX Design with the Interaction Design Foundation Courses. I am looking for a mentor to help me achieve my goal of transitioning into a UX role by the end of the year. I feel that your background speaks to me and I am a huge fan of your work, so it would be amazing if you would consider having me as a mentee.
Thank you for your work,
Jane
