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!

Participant recruitment gets treated like a logistics task…when it’s actually shaping everything that comes after. Who you recruit →...
Hey Reader, If you’re going to Learners Research Week in SF next week…I’ll see you there. I’ve seen it and lived it so many times. You show up to a conference with good intentions, sit through sessions, maybe introduce yourself to a couple of people… and then you leave thinking, “That was cool…” But nothing concrete that actually pushes you forward happened. No real connections. No follow-ups. No moments that change how you think or work. Not because you did anything wrong, but because...
Hey Reader, I hope you’re doing well. I’ve been seeing more roles start to open up again across UXR, and I wanted to bring you this month’s roundup. As always, every role here comes from teams I trust or was shared directly through my network, so you’re looking at real opportunities that are actively hiring right now. As you go through this, I want you to look at it a little differently. Not just as a list of jobs to apply to, but as a way to understand what teams are actually looking for...
