You've done everything right. Enrolled in courses, earned certificates, built projects. Yet the callbacks aren't coming, and senior roles feel out of reach. Here's why.
The Course Problem
Courses teach the same content to thousands of people. They don't know your gaps, don't review your actual work, and can't push you forward based on your specific situation. The result? You have knowledge but not the skills that get you hired.
What Senior Roles Actually Require
Hiring managers for senior positions look beyond technical skills. They want designers who can:
- Drive design decisions using business context
- Communicate impact, not just process
- Own projects end-to-end without hand-holding
- Navigate stakeholder dynamics
- Mentor others and scale design quality
No course can teach you this because it requires personalized feedback and real-world application specific to your career situation.
The Alternative: Mentorship
1:1 mentorship addresses what courses cannot. A mentor who has been where you want to go can identify your specific gaps, provide targeted feedback on your actual work, and guide you through the nuances of positioning yourself for senior roles.
This isn't about learning more - it's about becoming undeniable for the roles you want.
