    Quick tip for everyone is to niche down, it helps with competition.
    I niched down to SaaS digital tool dashboards for workplaces for b2b startups and I have 3 real life projects and my portfolio which includes positive testimonials.
    👎Downside is that you can't apply for just any UX position, which makes you search for that role you are niching down to.
    👍But the upside is that if I apply for relevant position I am the first one they are reaching out and during the interview they try very hard to convince me to work for them sometimes even making the hiring process easier just for me.

      Sadly the first they reach out to could be random or a referred or internal candidate.

      @@starogre in todays market could be anything. But companies usually prefer you more if you have not necessarily the best designs and experience, but the most relevant designs and experience.
      I think as a young professional with 2 years of experience in a relevant field is going to give better chances of getting the job than 5 years senior designer who has a very diverse portfolio and not a single piece that is relevant for that position.
      Maybe I am wrong. But thats the impression i have.

      agreed, also niching comes off as confident and generally people like being looked after by someone they can trust. I think you can have a few niches though and just target them separately if you want to cover more bases, but it might be spreading yourself too thin.

      Cool advice. I never knew what does niching down actually entail. Is it just a matter of adding SaaS to your job title and filtering your search or there are other steps you have to take?
