What should I do if I can’t find a job after UI training?

Many people rush to learn UI design. In fact, they are not really interested in UI design, but they see the promising prospects of the Internet industry and are persuaded to quit by programmers, so they turn their attention to UI design. Why do so many people study UI design but can’t find a job in UI design? 1. The entry-level UI design market is saturated.

In fact, it is not only difficult for UI designers from training courses to find jobs, but also for many fresh graduates who were born in majors. It is also difficult to find jobs in their majors. Because most students and fresh graduates on the market who have just graduated from training institutions can only meet the job of junior UI design, but a large number of junior UI designers flood into the market every year. There is only so much demand for junior UI design, resulting in The entry-level UI design market is already saturated.

We use the number of market recruitment to make a simple analysis of the market demand for junior UI design. There are more than 21,900 UI design recruitment information nationwide, and about 600 recruitment information for fresh graduates. We simply judge the level of UI design based on years of work experience. For the time being, UI designs with less than one year of work experience are considered junior UI designs. There are more than 7,000 job postings for UI designers with one to three years of work experience on the market. We give half of them to UI designers with one year of work experience. The job postings for junior UI designers are among all the job postings for UI design. The proportion is (3500 600)/219000=18.7.

The market demand for junior UI designers is only about 20%, but there are so many places exporting junior UI designers, so the junior UI design market is saturated. 2. The quality of courses and lecturers in training institutions is poor.

Although the entry-level UI design market is saturated, the market is changing and institutions need to change. Training institutions that do not adjust their course syllabus and teaching plans according to market demand are not good institutions.

I often see people asking on Zhihu that they cannot find a job after graduating from a training institution. Many people say that it is impossible to find a job after several months of training. However, some trainings last as long as fifteen months. After such a long learning period, it is still difficult to find a job. Therefore, the most serious factor in not being able to find a job may not be the length of the study period, but the courses, teaching plans, lecturers, etc.

The learning cycle of most UI training institutions on the market is 4 to 6 months. It is definitely impossible for you to reach a certain height after a few months of study. It just means that with good lecturers to guide you in your studies, you will find learning methods in this industry as soon as possible and improve your learning efficiency.

Are the instructors at the training institution as good as advertised? Can institutions really hire so many talented lecturers to teach students?

The teacher team in the brochure is all "XX director, XX person in charge, XX designer", with 10 years or more of work experience. There are only two words that give people the feeling: awesome! In fact? These are all written by people themselves, and no one knows how much content there is in them, nor do you know their true teaching level. I have heard before that an organization recruits graduates as teachers, and they also have a high school degree. Can you believe it?

Even if the institution may have great lecturers, there may only be one or two great lecturers. When promoting, use big-name lecturers to promote it, but it is other lecturers who actually teach, and you will not be blessed to enjoy the big-name lectures.

Actually, I think that in the training industry, a teacher’s background is only one aspect. Working hard and teaching students well is the real thing. Students can express the knowledge they have mastered in a simple and easy-to-understand way. If you can understand it well, you are a good teacher.

There are more and more UI training institutions on the market. Many UI training institutions may not put education and quality first, but only focus on immediate benefits. When an institution only focuses on recruiting students and does not care about the quality of students, the quality of lecturers, and does not pay attention to course research, will the students trained with this quality be able to find good jobs? 3. The students’ own conditions are average and their personal abilities do not meet the requirements of the market.

Many institutions do not have any threshold requirements for admissions. In fact, this is also a sign of irresponsibility to students. Most students who come to UI design training want to change careers, but not everyone can meet the conditions for changing careers. For better employment of students, training institutions should strictly implement one-card admissions standards.

Let me state here that I do not discriminate against academic qualifications. Just think about it, if you have a junior high school, high school, or technical secondary school degree to train in UI design, what is the probability of success in getting a job? Here I would like to share an answer about whether low-level education is suitable for learning UI design. You can simply take a look at the probability of successful employment in UI design with low-level education.

Market demand and institutional quality are all external factors. If external factors cannot be changed, then improve yourself. Because no matter how bad the institution is, there are students who are successfully employed, and no matter how good the institution is, there are students who have difficulty finding jobs.

“The master leads you in, and the practice lies in the individual.” Institutions can only provide you with a complete course system and lecturers who are experienced in teaching and answering questions, and can help you avoid detours on the road of learning. As for whether you want to chew slowly and eat the food cooked by the teacher, it is your own business. If the teacher force-feeds it to you, you will not be able to absorb it well.

UI training institutions use high salaries, prospects, etc. to promote this industry, blindly trying to attract more students, but never focus on courses and teaching. Therefore, even if they pass the study of the institutional system, the curriculum system is not in line with the market, and students cannot meet the requirements of the market. In addition, the current market is saturated with entry-level UI designs, so it is still difficult for students from training institutions to find UI design jobs.

Having said so much before, since the entry-level UI design market has been saturated, when choosing a training institution, you must pay attention to whether the talent training plan meets the current market requirements, and hold yourself to higher standards when learning. Only in this way can you improve your chances of finding a job and earning a high salary.
