Member story

Yo, Jacky here. Im an international student from Hongkong.

While studying Informatics at UW, I felt stressed to just how intense and competitive finding internships in a post Covid era has become. It seems like there are thousands of students applying to the same roles.

I really wanted to get into FAANG, and when Amazon finally gave me an interview chance, I knew this was my one shot on achieving my dream.

After doing a few mocks to prepare, I realized my interview skills just aren't there yet. Even though I did my best to prepare, I had a lot of questions other mentors just cant help or give me answers to. That was until I found UXGO. After reading there guides and articles, I needed this targeted 1:1 feedback and coaching was what I needed. So I signed up for an intense but effective 1:1 coaching package where I took 5 customized hour long live courses back to back.

I got to build my confidence, and impress my interviewers on the big day.

Feel free to reach out to me on linked in about my experience with UXGO or have any other questions. I dont come from a traditional visual or UX focused major like many other students, so I would love to tell you more about my journey with UXGO!
