This led me to completing a UX Design course and a certified <a href=\"https:\/\/uxwritinghub.com\/join-the-ux-writing-academy\/\">UX Writing course<\/a> with UX Writing Hub. I received valuable guidance from my mentor, Aaron for all my writing exercises and this reinforced my understanding of the design thinking concepts that we learnt too. I\u2019m also grateful for the opportunity to work with a real client.<\/p><p>Upon completing the course, I was keen to work on other client projects to gain more exposure. Thanks to the referral I got from my journalist friend, I managed to work on a finance app. As this is under NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement), I can\u2019t share much. What I can say is this gave me a glimpse into the finance industry, and an opportunity to craft copy for their user flows, notifications and error messages.<\/p><p>Through Yuval, I also got the chance to work with a talent management platform. The scope<br \/>included helping the client to improve the user flow, enhance the Information Architecture, and propose clear and conversational microcopy to guide the user in navigating the platform.<\/p><p>Based on the job descriptions of UX Writing roles, companies prefer considering candidates with real-world working experience. To achieve this, you could conduct content audits of your dream company and show how you would improve the user experiences of their product features. If you\u2019re passionate about a certain cause, consider volunteering your skills to improve the app or website of a non-profit organisation. Better still, if you\u2019ve got the chance to work with a client on short-term projects, go for it!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-decce14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"decce14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>2.
