Facing rejection for UX Designers

Описание: A few years ago faced a lot of rejection while interviewing for a new job. Fast forward to today, I talk to a lot of designers who are going through this. So, I wanted to share part of my story in hopes that it helps others get through a rough time and encourages more people to open up about their failures.

Remember, if you want to be a Product Designer enough, I know you'll make it happen!
