Two Picks of the week
Job: UI/UX Designer at Mentor Match
Mentor Match is a self-study platform that helps high school students from classes VIII-XII connect instantly with tutors through a one-on-one live video call for JEE, NEET, NTSE, Board exam and school exam aspirants.
Mentor Match has raised $1 Million in funding last year and is looking for a designer to help take them to the next level.
Must haves: Minimum of 2 years of Experience and Working knowledge of Ed-Tech or have been part of a funded startup. Learn more about the role 🔗
Did you know? 98% of India's Product Designer's are Self-Taught and struggle with the following:
1. Not having proper basics of Information, Interaction and Interface to design products for their users.
2. Not knowing how to articulate their design decisions properly and lose out an opportunity to defend their designs to their managers & reviewers.
3. Not knowing how to speak to their users and design with their needs in mind.
If you want to get off on the right foot and learn more about Product Design in a cohort, the Product Design Fellowship is the right one for you. The program is a better fit for junior designers or anyone who is looking to explore product design from amazing folks like Karthi Subbaraman, Ben George, Sunit S., Dharmesh BA 🕵🏽♂️ and Arjun Phlox. The program also offers 1 year of placement support with Hiring partners, if you are looking out.
