Imagine standing in a crowded room, yelling at the top of your lungs, hoping someone will hear you. But everyone else is yelling too, and the people you’re trying to reach? They’re wearing noise-canceling headphones.
That’s what applying to UX jobs through job boards feels like.
Most job applications go straight into a black hole.
Why? Because 80% of UX jobs are never advertised.
Here’s what’s happening:
- Hiring managers prioritize internal referrals, colleagues’ recommendations, and trusted networks.
- By the time a job is posted online, the role is often already filled—or flooded with hundreds of applications.
So how do you get noticed?
You skip the line.
Instead of waiting for an opening, you build relationships directly with the people making the decisions. You send tailored messages, solve their problems, and show them you’re the right person before the job is even listed.
This is what I call “bypassing the black hole.”
And it’s how I went from getting ghosted to landing 6-figure UX jobs without sending endless applications.
If you’re tired of being ignored, I’ve put together a step-by-step guide to help you. It’s called the From Ghosted to Hired: Black Friday UX Job Bundle.
This isn’t about working harder—it’s about working smarter.

The offer expires this Friday at midnight EST. Don’t miss it.
Talk soon,
Joseph
