Hey, I'm Rachel.
8
I'm a senior product designer working in Malaysia and this is how I got started in UR UX design.
9
In high school, I always thought I had my life planned out.
10
I studied really hard to secure a scholarship,
11
but I failed to do so.
12
I even took a part-time law degree while working to fund my college fees.
13
But I dropped out eventually because it just wasn't my jam.
14
I self-studied a diploma in accounting because I thought I needed a cert to prove my worth.
15
So I decided to not pursue a degree as I didn't know what I wanted to do.
16
Since 2013, I worked in different roles.
17
A call centre for hotels,
18
a sales promoter for body lotion,
19
a direct sales agent, a real estate agent,
20
an account executive in an ad agency,
21
and a digital marketing manager.
22
These jobs have shaped my personality.
23
They have built my soft skills,
24
they have trained my resilience,
25
and without them, I wouldn't be who I am today.
26
But these jobs have one thing in common.
27
It's just something that I do not enjoy,
28
I hate waking up to,
29
and I just feel like it's not me.
30
And then I wonder, is this how my life is going to turn out to be?
31
Am I going to wake up to a job I hate for the rest of my life?
32
So I began searching for what I'm passionate about by paying attention to the things that I enjoy the most.
33
And I realised no matter what job I'm in,
34
I get caught up in the visual design process.
35
It was something I see myself doing every day.
36
So I thought to myself,
37
that's it, that's the one.
38
I don't know how I'm gonna get there, but I'm gonna try.
39
I've been told that my lack of qualification will not get me anywhere.
40
And someone even told me that,
41
you know, you should be happy that you even have a job at our company.
42
On 4th of March 2019,
43
I quit my job as a digital marketing manager
44
and I told myself that I will prove these people wrong and that's how my self-learning journey began.
45
So, I gave myself a three-month deadline to have a job
46
because I couldn't afford to have no income and that's how I get started.
47
I started learning UX with the free resources available online and Google is my best friend.
48
I also learned how to code on the site with Free Code Can
49
because I feel like learning coding will help me become a better designer and that I also have a passion for coding.
50
My learning process was messy.
51
I learned Adobe XD and started playing with the tool.
52
I needed something to showcase in my portfolio and I took a Google interview question and turned it into a case study.
53
So I wrote a case study in the form of a Medium article
54
and at the same time I started preparing my CV.
55
I read up a lot of job descriptions online to make sure that I am well prepared for the job.
56
I was well aware that my lack of qualification will put me in a tough spot
57
because competition is really high and I'm very aware
58
that I need to prove myself
59
that I am able to take on the designer role even though I have no experience and no degree.
60
So I did whatever I can with the free resources online to brush up my skills.
61
I studied day and night on design and code.
62
During the three-month period, I stumbled upon a hackathon.
63
I offered design help and front-end code help.
64
Despite having zero idea how I might not do that,
65
to be honest, I was really grateful because we got top 10 in the hackathon team.
66
I got offered an interview with the bank shortly after.
67
I had a few job interviews,
68
but I failed all of it because they wanted someone who could do both graphic design and UX design.
69
And one of the recruiters told me that I am too ambitious,
70
that's why they don't want to hire me.
71
I applied to a few startups in Malaysia that I see myself working with,
72
who has great culture and a mature design team.
73
And then something wonderful happened.
74
Faith called me up and offered me an interview.
75
Knowing that my chances are really slim,
76
I told my boyfriend that How about I just give up on this opportunity,
77
don't continue with it and just go with the offer that the bank has given me.
78
But I'm glad I listened to him and I went for the interview straight away.
79
So this is how my assignment looked like.
80
Before the interview, I practiced my presentation in front of my computer at least five times to make sure
81
that I nailed the interview.
82
To my surprise, I got the job and here I am.
83
I'm sharing my story with all of you
84
because I wanted to remind you one thing You have everything you need to start
85
and you'll never feel like you're ready anyway,
86

87
but don't you doubt yourself.

Guia Passo a Passo de Shadowing

Para quem deseja melhorar suas habilidades em inglês, especialmente usando a técnica de shadowing em inglês, aqui está um guia prático inspirado na jornada de Rachel:

  1. Escolha o material: Selecione vídeos ou áudios em inglês que você admire. Neste caso, o vídeo de Rachel é um ótimo ponto de partida.
  2. Ouça atentamente: Preste atenção na pronúncia, ênfase e entonação. Tente compreender a mensagem e o sentimento por trás das palavras.
  3. Repita em voz alta: Comece a imitar o que você ouviu, sincronizando suas palavras com as dela. Quando ela diz “Eu não sei como vou chegar lá,” pronuncie na mesma cadência.
  4. Anote frases úteis: Use as frases destacadas anteriormente como ponto de partida para sua prática de conversação em inglês, integrando-as ao seu vocabulário cotidiano.
  5. Revise regularmente: Volte para o material periodicamente. A repetição ajudará a fixar o que você aprendeu e a melhorar sua fluência.

A prática constante através do shadowspeak permitirá que você se torne mais confiante. Ao seguir esses passos, você também poderá trilhar seu caminho para o domínio da língua inglesa, assim como Rachel fez em sua jornada profissional.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
