For employment, career change, and promotion in uncertain times
The Standard for a Designer Career

It is changing so fast, how should I prepare?

“Should I fix my portfolio now? Or should I learn more about AI first?”

“Job postings these days seem to require a lot of qualifications. Is it okay for me to apply based on my current experience?”

“What more should I do in my current team to move on to my next company?”

As AI develops so rapidly, the work I do keeps changing as well.
Tasks that were previously done manually are now handled by AI, and,
You also have to relearn familiar work methods.

With work standards constantly changing like this
Where I can apply with my current experience,
What to prepare first for employment or changing jobs
It is difficult to get a handle on things.

Why does the preparation feel so daunting?

The capabilities required by the market and companies are changing rapidly.
Even if you refer to methods that worked in the past or the experiences of those around you,
It is difficult to gauge what opportunities will open up next.
Even just making a plan on what to prepare
It takes time and energy to compare job postings and find out what the team actually does.

What is even more daunting is
With the information I gathered, I will decide how to start and grow my career It is when you don't know the method.
Even if you read many job postings, aim for a specific role,
It is still difficult to decide which experience to build first.

Getting a job, changing jobs, and getting promoted are also skills.

You can learn how to prepare.
How to find and apply for jobs, how to build a career,
Methods for negotiating roles and conditions have been studied for a long time.

How to read the problem a team of interest is trying to solve,
How to gain experience to contribute to that problem,
You can learn how to discuss the next role step by step based on the results you have produced.
Decide on the role you want and start by preparing the experience required for it.This is the starting point.

We design strategies for your desired career.

If you received advice from the consultation, the next step is
What role to aim for, what experience to gain, and when to apply You need to decide specifically.
To formulate that plan, you need to look at three things.

  • Changes in design technology — How new tools and technologies are changing the work and role of designers
  • Company recruitment process — Why the team opens a job opening and what criteria they use to evaluate candidates
  • Competencies currently required by the company — What kind of work does the target team intend to assign, and what experience do they expect from that role?

If you have just started your career
It is difficult to know how hiring decisions are made within the company.
If you are currently employed, while balancing work
There is insufficient time to consistently monitor market changes and the demands of various companies.

This program takes over that investigation and analysis.
I will summarize the changes in design technology and actual hiring cases, and,
Based on that content, we help you develop a career strategy that suits your goals.

The reason I made this program

I believe that design can have a greater impact.
So, researching what kind of change good design creates,
We have shared that method through articles and practical training.
The market is changing rapidly
I felt that opportunities to learn and use new technologies in the workplace were still lacking.

While teaching design, to many designers
It is just as important to know how to design your career as it is to master new design skills.I found out that.
Where to put the skills I've learned to use,
It is about deciding for yourself what problems to take on next and what experiences to gain.
We have prepared a career building program to help you practice that process together.

Before we begin the program, in this free webinar, we would like to share the basic principles of a career.
How to get your first role, expand your contributions while working,
Can you discuss the following roles and conditions?
Let's take a look together.
