A skill that almost ALL employers look for in one way or another is: Resourcefulness
Resourcefulness is closely related to problem solving, which is at the very heart of the UX process. There are many ways to be resourceful, but one of the most straightforward troubleshooting methods is simply "look it up."
"That is obvious," you might say. This article probably isn't going to be very useful to you then. To the people who are good at troubleshooting, it becomes painfully obvious if a question could have been easily answered with a quick search. I will list out four common ones I see as an example:
Do some research on this. The common paths are Self-learning, Bootcamp and College degree/certificate. There are hundreds of resources online outlining the pros and cons of each option. Take some time to self-reflect and come back with a more targeted question.
If you are asking a hiring manager what they think of bootcamps, preface the question with: "During my research, it feels like hiring managers don't look favourably towards bootcamp grads in the last 2 years. What is your personal opinion on this?” - This laser-focuses your question on the unique perspective of the person you are asking while also showing you spent some time digging first.
I don't want to sound like a broken record but... "it depends."
Some questions (of many possible ones) you might want to ask yourself first:
Some steps of the "Design Process" are designed to answer these very questions.
My long-winded point here is that simplifying all of this down to one question shows a blatant disregard for the field of UX and implies the asker didn't even try to do some research before asking.
