Why I Hire Junior UX Designers 😇 (1/2)
Junior UX designers accounted for 70% of the UX population
But thousands of them are still unemployed
Here are 4 reasons why your company should hire junior designers:
1️⃣ A fresh perspective on current design issues
60% of Junior designers switch to UI/UX from a different field.
This means they are:
🔸 More innovative in solving design problems
🔸 More familiar with new design tools, trends
🔸 More adaptive and flexible
2️⃣ Diversity
Diverse teams generally perform better than teams of people all come from the same background.
Having an inclusive design team can:
🔸 Lessen the burden of Senior designers
🔸 Reduce team conflicts
🔸 Increase overall performance
3️⃣ Strong eagerness and willingness to learn
Here's what I appreciate the most about Junior designers
They are often more open to:
🔸 Listen and learn from feedback
🔸 Provide insights to improve current design practice
🔸 Offer enthusiastic support to Senior designers
4️⃣ A worthwhile investment for your team and company
It can cost more to train a Junior designer
But the value they can offer just OUTWEIGHS the cost.
It simply doesn’t take anything from your company to give Junior designers a CHANCE!!!
TL;DR
UX designers' value shouldn't be defined by years of experience
Companies should hire Junior designers as they can offer
1️⃣ A fresher perspective
2️⃣ Various skill sets from different backgrounds
3️⃣ A strong willingness to become better
4️⃣ A low-risk, high-return on investment
