Empowered U-X

Group UX Career Coaching for women wanting to land a job in UX they love

Hey there U-Xer

I imagine you’ve got some big hopes and dreams and you’ve been trying all the things and have so much to offer, but you're just not seeing that translate fully.

Perhaps you’ve landed a contract role and you want a full time gig, perhaps you’ve just finished your bootcamp and don’t know where to start with job hunting, or you may want to advance your UX career and specialise in the area that you’re most interested in.

If any of those resonate with you, you’re in the right place!

I’ll be guiding and supporting you each step of the way

As a Certified Career Coach and Head of UX myself, I know a thing or two about landing aligned work.

Believe it or not I started my career as a civil engineer and transitioned into UX over 8 years ago and haven’t looked back. It was the BEST move I could have made.

I want to help you to do the same, AND feel good along the way.

Why this program?

What makes this program different is that I care as much about your wellbeing and mindset as about the practical tools and physical steps you need to take to attract the UX work you want.

This isn’t just a nice to have, it’s essential in setting you up for success and will make the journey so much more enjoyable and energising.

Benefits of group coaching

Why get the support from one when you can have a whole, amazing group of supporters and community to support you on your journey?

We all know networks can help our careers to thrive, and what better way to start building your supportive network and friendships than through group coaching.

You’ll get the benefit of extra connections, different perspectives and not always having the spotlight on you (phew!). This program also has an option for 1:1 support, so you can have the perks of both!

What we’ll cover together

  • Resume & Portfolio Reviews

    You’ll receive expert reviews of your UX (or related field) portfolio, resume, LinkedIn, job applications – you name it!

  • UX interview preparation

    Be supported with your specific job interview. I’ll be reviewing the job ad and the company to help you shine in your interview.

  • Mindset

    Believing in yourself and feeling confident are key to landing your dream UX job. I’ll help you to overcome those fears and blocks.

  • Goal setting

    I’ll support you to create CLEARLY defined, inspiring goals that motivate you and attract those opportunities to you.

  • Your unique-ness

    Let’s leverage and celebrate what makes you unique. This is a big part of helping you stand out in a crowded market.

  • Wellbeing & self care

    Job hunting burn out is real and it’s not helpful in landing a job. I’ll help you to create more balance, boost your energy + get results.

  • There will be a maximum of 5 women in the group and I’ll be facilitating each of our Zoom coaching sessions.

“My experience with Zinzi as a career coach was one of a kind! I had the privilege of being part of her career coaching program for 6 weeks and every session was insightful and a joy to be in. She gave a very holistic approach to the job hunt, making me rethink how I approached the job hunt and life in general. Zinzi is thoughtful and passionate about uplifting others. I would recommend her to anyone seeking professional mentorship. Thank you, Zinzi!!!!
