Thanks for the insight Phoebe :) I'm currently taking this course and I'll admit it's been about 6mths since I started and I'm halfway through, but I'm taking my time since I have no prior experience.
I took it, and yep is ok to skip some content but in general I recommend it. Also I like to have the word "Google" in my resume, it makes me think I will stand out... maybe?
so communication is key. im doing my own UX/Web dev portfolio/projects and showcasing each in a pdf file to help boost when applying for apps, but def need to work on working with others. thx pheobe
Hi Phoebe, I have just graduated from college and wanted to get into the field of Ui Ux, so far I have learned basic Figma and Photoshop and want to learn more and grow. I am currently learning from TH-cam and have not planned to buy any courses, do you think I should go for the paid courses or stick to TH-cam until my basics are polished? and what do you think are the best TH-cam channels for ux designing?
Hey Lekh! I believe one can learn anything and everything from TH-cam university :) there are amazing channels and resources all about UX, UI, and product design. I recommend chunbuns, femke.design, Aliena Cai, Rachel How, AJ&Smart for UX/Product design content and Malewicz, The Futur, and Mizko for UI or more technical content. There are more up and coming creators so keep an open mind! And of course I am always happy to make videos and provide value on suggested topics. Taking a paid course or not depends on your goals. I have seen people get jobs, improve in skills, and grow from bootcamps. I have also seen people do all of these with just free content. If you want to get a deeper dive on a topic and can afford it, paid courses are great! But you can start with free, accessible resources and go from there. Hope this helps!

I started the certification the past week and my concern is related with the study cases. I don't have job experience or a networking related with ux. So, what should I do in that case? for example, i have some ideas about mobile apps i'd like to propose but how could i get the metrics? or if i wanna propose a redisgn for an existing company, how could i get its metrics if they even don't know me. Could u give some advices about that?
Hi NiHiKata, that's a very valid question! This comes down to what type of users you are helping with your mobile app idea. You can always start with those around you - your friends, family, coworkers etc. I've never used this product myself, but I heard you can also recruit real users from www.usertesting.com/
@@phoebeyutbt Thanks for ur suggest :) I'd like -if it's possible- ask u about a non official redisgn. As I said, there is a website -a bookstore- with a bad design, it's not responsive, its categories looks so random and I'd like to improve that and offer a solution to make it more intuite -even a mobile app bcz this store doesn't have one- I'd like to do this as case study into the google ux certification. My question is: do i need to contact with this bookstore to make it or get a permission to go with? i want to clarify this bookstore is a online store that sells books in different countries so idk what should i do in that case or maybe this project could be so big for me.

I think it is, specially because it is constantly updated, maybe they will be incorporating more lessons with AI topics
