Eniola Abioye, UXR Career Coach | UX Outloud

Eniola Abioye

YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL OR ACADEMIC RESEARCHER who has experience in people-focused work that you'd like to apply to a career in UX Research; however you don't know how to stand out and successfully pivot. You've come to the right place! My name is Eniola Abioye; I am a UXR Career Coach and I help customer-centered professionals position their current skills to transition into tech UXR roles. I founded UX Outloud to work directly with people who have experience doing user research but have never had the title on their resume. I guide researchers in building a strong narrative and employing an 8-step strategy in starting their UXR careers. My speciality is constructing tailored transition strategies taking into account the experience you have to leverage and the niche that are targeting for your next role. I take a hands-on approach to revamping your professional materials including: 📢 A resume that emphasizes your work and organizational impact 📢 A LinkedIn profile that demonstrates your value to UX hiring managers and recruiters 📢 A UXR portfolio that details your strategic research approach and case studies that showcase your experience I also work as a Lead UX Researcher and UXR Manager at Meta - and my background happens to be in biology and healthcare. Take it from me, someone who doesn't have the most "traditional" UXR background, you can apply people research skills from any and every industry and niche to UX. It all comes down to creating a strong narrative and making your skillset crystal clear. If you're ready to stop applying to UXR roles endlessly online and actually gain traction landing interviews and job offers, apply to work with me at bit.ly/uxrcareeraccelerator! Tell me about your background and what you're looking for in your next career move. I'm happy to answer any questions you have and figure out if we're a good fit on a free consultation call. 💚 Tap the "subscribe" button to hear tips and strategies for pivoting into UXR! On a personal tip, I was born, raised and educated in the Bay Area. I absolutely love traveling and adventures of any kind. Luckily UX Research has taken me all around the world and I'm documenting my journey as I go!

Hey Reader 👋🏾 Let’s talk about screener surveys. Because it doesn’t matter how polished your research plan is—if you’re talking to the wrong people, your insights are going to fall flat. And I’ve been there. You wrap a session and think, “That person was nice... but not the user I needed.” The good news? It’s fixable. And it starts with writing a screener that works for you, not against you. Here's how to do it: 1. Start with your research goal Before you write a single question, ask: What am...

Hey Reader 👋🏾 POV you’re scrolling LinkedIn, and you come across a job that lights you up but then… you start reading the requirements. And somewhere between “5+ years of experience in X industry” and “expert in tools you’ve barely touched,” your mouse hovers over the “X” button to get up out of there. Sound familiar? Here’s the truth I always tell my career coaching clients: Job descriptions are a wishlist, not a checklist. They’re often written with an ideal candidate in mind, someone who’s...
