Why you think you have no time for job hunting

Feb 10, 2025 12:46 am

Every week, I talk to UX designers who tell me:


“I don’t have time for networking.”

“I can’t do strategic outreach—it takes too long.”

“I just need to apply to more jobs.”


Then I ask them how they’re actually spending their time.


❌ Scrolling job boards

❌ Auto-applying to 50+ jobs a week

❌ Tweaking their resume for every new listing

❌ Checking emails, waiting for responses that never come


That’s not job searching. That’s busy work.


The problem isn’t a lack of time. It’s that most UXers are doing job hunting the hardest way possible.


Here’s what happens when you flip the approach:


✅ Spend 3 focused hours a week on targeted outreach

✅ Get direct connections to hiring managers

✅ Book real interviews instead of sending blind applications


That’s exactly how my clients land jobs faster—with less effort.


Case in point:

Gary was spending months mass-applying. Zero traction. We switched him to a simple 3-hour-a-week system:


1 hour: Identifying decision-makers at his dream companies

1 hour: Sending targeted, personalized messages

1 hour: Following up strategically


Within 2 weeks, he had 5 interviews lined up.


You’re already putting in the hours. The real question is: Are you spending them wisely?


If you’re ready to stop wasting time and start making real progress, DM me “3HOURS” and I’ll share the exact system that works.
