This article was first published by Olivia Ng on Medium. I joined the world of UX/UI in 2021 after career changing from being an English as a Second Language (ESL) Teacher. Changing careers can daunting, but with some preparation it won’t be nearly as bad as you think. According the TopCV, the world’s largest CV writing service, 30% of UK professionals have changed jobs between 2020 and 2021. I hope that by sharing my story you won’t think it’s too late to change or feel so alone in starting your journey.
