Could you mentor a farmer breaking into UX design?
Linh, a farmer, is retraining for UX design and is looking for a mentor for monthly calls over four months.

I have worked as a farmer for 11 years, and I'm 50. After a health scare, I decided to move into UX design, and I have completed a self-study course with a project portfolio.
What I'm missing is someone who has walked this path: feedback on my interview answers, a realistic view of the job market in Hồ Chí Minh City, and a sounding board when things feel overwhelming.
I'm hoping for one 45-minute video call a month for four months, plus the occasional email question. I'll bring specific questions and I won't waste your time.
All I can offer back is my thanks, and I'll mentor someone else once I'm settled.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 45 minutes a month
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- industry experience, patience, honest feedback

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Gold Coast
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Linh. Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Durham donated after I showed her your page. All the best
I'd happily buy from you once you're back up. Wish I lived closer to Mississauga so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City!
hope things get better soon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless
thanks for sharing this, Linh. Hope the shop reopens soon.
Sending love, Linh. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.
so sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. God bless
Hang in there. Small businesses are the heart of Hồ Chí Minh City. Hope you're open again soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it!
Stay strong, Linh. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Take care.
good luck. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City
Best of luck, Linh. This could happen to any of us. All the best.
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Addis Ababa
Sending love. I hope things turn around soon. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings
