I’m a B.Tech CSE student and I’ve been focusing on UI/UX design for the past few months. I’ve made around 2–3 case studies, built my portfolio, and have been applying to as many UI/UX/Product Design internship openings as I can find.

But I still haven’t been able to land an internship.

Now I’m honestly a bit confused about what I should do next.

Should I:

I already know Figma fairly well and have some basic HTML/CSS/JS knowledge, so I’m not sure if learning another tool is actually going to help me or if I should go deeper into what I already know.

I also feel like I might be making the mistake of thinking that I need to learn more things when maybe the problem is that my existing work isn't strong enough yet.

For those of you who are working as Product/UI/UX Designers or have recently gone through the internship/job search:

What would you recommend I focus on at this stage?

If you were in my position with 2–3 case studies and a portfolio but no internship yet, what would you spend the next 2–3 months improving?

Also, if you're willing to take a quick look at my portfolio/case studies, I'd really appreciate some honest criticism about what might be holding me back.

I’m not looking for sugarcoated feedback. I’d rather know what I’m doing wrong and what I should actually work on.

Now I’m honestly a bit confused about what I should do next.

Should I:

• Learn a new tool?
• Improve my existing UI skills?
• Learn more about UX research?
• Learn usability testing?
• Learn design systems?
• Learn Framer/Webflow?
• Improve my case studies?
• Build more projects?
• Focus more on product thinking?
• Or just keep applying?
