So January this year, I left my permanent role to become a Contract User Experience (UX) Designer.

I wanted to document and share some of the preparation before making the move so here's a start at it.

To add, my notice period was 3months.

Organising calls with recruiters can be long and tedious. I started using Calendly and it helped automate some of that process making it less stressful and time-consuming! Highly recommend using it, and it's free! https://calendly.com/
