Think you’re great at what you do but still not landing interviews? You might be stuck in Invisible Genius Mode—and it’s costing you opportunities.
In this episode, Sarah introduces the second major UX job search roadblock in her diagnostic series: Invisible Genius Mode. It’s the frustrating space where you know you're qualified—and so do your colleagues—but your resume, portfolio, and LinkedIn aren’t making it clear to hiring teams.
Sarah walks through 4 key symptoms of Invisible Genius Mode, explains why it’s a marketing problem (not a skills problem), and gives you a simple framework to reposition yourself as an in-demand candidate.
This is Part 2 of a 3-part series on diagnosing your UX job search struggles.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ The 4 signs you’re stuck in Invisible Genius Mode
✔️ Why strong skills don’t matter if your materials don’t communicate them
✔️ How to use Sarah’s “Product of You” philosophy to stand out
✔️ Why your resume, portfolio, and LinkedIn must all tell the same story
✔️ What to change if you keep hearing “you’re a perfect fit” but still don’t get hired
