Hi Justeen, thank you for sharing that! I can't wait to see the video about the presentation itself that you commented about. Now that I am finally working on a company with real projects, metrics, etc, I've been really thinking on how I can add what I've been working on to my portfolio without giving too much internal information to the public and only actually presenting the project in a portfolio presentation for a job interview. My current portfolio has the whole process for all the projects on it and I think I should change it to just introduce the project and save the process for a portfolio presentation 😅

[@Justeen15]

Hii nice to hear from you again! Congrats on your offer! Hope you are enjoying the design process in a real company setting. What you mentioned was true, real projects would need to be a little less process and concise for confidential reasons, but still need to be engaging enough that the hiring manager goes "ooo this designer is solid. Let's schedule a call with them". That is where your designer creativity comes in. Feel free to drop a line at [e-mail] so I can keep you posted about the presentation itself :) Cheers!

What are your thoughts on my 2 projects? Anything you would add to make them better? Do my hypothetic iterations give you more insights into what else to work on? Let me know what you guys and girls think! 🤓

[@dericktsang4792]

I think they're great and easy to follow. The only thing I'd add is the volume is too low for this video.

[@Justeen15]

@@dericktsang4792 Yeah I figured out what went wrong. Have you tried my other Pinterest portfolio presentation video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGHLqpyQq7KGnLc

[@constellation007]

Hi! I would love to see and read through your website in detail, is it available?

[@wenjiewu3489]

hi Justeen, this is super helpful and thanks for sharing. Would love to see a video on prepping for behavioral interviews in the future too :)

[@Justeen15]

Thank you! Any particular behavioral interviews you were looking for? Cultural fit? ENG interview? etc?

[@wenjiewu3489]

@@Justeen15 Some videos on "tell me a time xxx" on ENG and Hiring Manager interviews will be of great help! I saw many ppl talking about the STAR method but nobody really gave examples answers, especially what makes a good story for a UX Designer. Thank you for your response and look forward to seeing more videos from you!

[@Justeen15]

@@wenjiewu3489 Ah! I actually have made a few videos on those topics already: kzbin.info/aero/PLNgWNg4wjoKsKaYC4lxztS-GBaVirFc1c I had covered interview questions with ENG, PM, UXR, HM, etc!

[@dericktsang4792]

Hi Justeen, thanks for sharing your presentation with us! Really appreciate how you broke down your thought process. Since my recent layoff, I've been applying and interviewing for months to no avail. Your video has given me a better idea on how I should restructure my portfolio. Would love to connect if you have LinkedIn or ADPList!

Hi Derick! Thanks for the notes! Yeah feel free to email me at [e-mail]. If you're interested in more 1:1 time, I'm planning something down the road :)
