UI UX design interview Q&A - After interviewing at 600+ companies

[@London2ATL]

Yo, I watched your video this morning and interviewed 4 hours later (2nd stage) and they asked 1: Tell me about yourself, I already had my one. 2. Design process, I knew this but couldn't articulate it like you but I memorised your answer beforehand and when they asked, I just said it like you. Me covering it like you basically covered a whole lot, they did ask on how I get feedbacks and I said in the testing phase and also user research that had been done by the company. I'm like you, got Html/CSS JavaScript skills and they just asked a couple of things, also if I've used mysql before which I have. 3. They also asked Where I see myself in 3 to 5 years, I didn't use your example because I think some companies would frown on you trying to jump ship, I used this kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZ2YdpJ9aN51gaM Word for word. They ask me the next big thing and I said Augmented Reality. I was supposed to hear back from them on a Friday, they got back to me less than an hour later. Your video was really really helpful. It gave me confidence. Thanks so much 🔥👊🏾. I'm subbing.

I can't thank you enough Kayung, got 3 offers from product based companies! I tailored the answers a bit to my needs but kept the overall structure and in a couple interviews I had these exact questions asked to me.

[@KaYungCalebLai]

Thank you so much for this amazing video. I have a product designer interview tomorrow and the way you've explained things is amazing and so articulate. I'm taking notes and writing down my experiences and how I'd answer these questions so I feel more prepared. This is awesome and truly helpful!

[@KaYungCalebLai]

Hope you land the job! Good luck!

[@gurprincekaur]

Hey, I really like your video. I have few most asked questions other than what you have covered in the video: 1. What are the biggest challenge you have faced till now? 2. What is your biggest achievement so far? 3. How do you handle a situation when your team members do not agree on the designs you have made? I have interviews lined up this coming week, hope to get your answer soon!

[@KaYungCalebLai]

Hey~ your 1 and 2 are very personal, I don't think I can answer that for you.. as for your #3, check out my point "how do you handle feedback. Good luck with your interviews!

[@gurprincekaur]

​@@KaYungCalebLai Thank you for your response. Could you make a video to show tips and tricks walking through the portfolio?

[@narendraprasath3712]

Thank you so much, pal. This video is the gem of my life. The way you described was wonderful and also this helps me to connect one point to another. I watched your video earlier this month and interviewed later. Most things happened as you mentioned in this video. I got back their reply sooner. Thank you so much.

As a junior ui ux designer what questions should I be expecting, when I'm going for a job interview for the very first time? Thanks in advance

[@cherry-lp8yq]

i was lost , but now im so confident that im going to make it 8) , but i do have a question , so they are not going to ask about specific topics in design like google material design and the difference between ux and ui , and also ux research framework and methods? thanks in advance

[@KingdomCre8tive]

I feel like I'm the only one without a job right now lol

[@s_h_i_v_e]

Hi i have a question, Sometimes client want to change something that we know is not a good practice or something that will not work. What should we do in that situation..?

[@KaYungCalebLai]

I'd give my best suggestions, but if they still want the other way, I'd follow their instruction. Think of it this way, if you're a hairdresser and your client wants you to shave his head, you know it'll be bad but he's paying for it, would you do it?

[@bahaedakka]

What would you say if they ask you to lower your hourly rate?

[@KaYungCalebLai]

I usually have a minimum, below that I'll pass the project to my other contractors.

[@bahaedakka]

@@KaYungCalebLai May I ask what is your minimum at this moment?

[@KaYungCalebLai]

@@bahaedakka $75/h USD.

[@soullessbody-cannons8491]

"They aren't paying me to say this", "But go ahead and use my code to get 15% off"... bro wtf. Video starts at @6:15

[@KaYungCalebLai]

that's why youtube has timestamp and you're twisting my words :)

[@rohitpanse7986]

hey kayung first of all thank you for your valuable content; your content is really valuable i have learned a lot from you. so, i have query regarding portfolio like how to structure a portfolio if i want to apply for full time position for ui designer, as well as continue freelancing as a side hustle ? what would you suggest in this scenario? i hope you got my que.

[@KaYungCalebLai]

Hey Rohit, I think it's less about your portfolio structure and more about your work. I always advise people to just use Dribbble as their portfolio rather than having a personal one. I made a video to talk more about this point. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWireJKDhaaamMk

[@bajrangrahul7761]

it is necessary to learn html and css

[@KaYungCalebLai]

but no, it's not necessary. I covered some of the points in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqPQqp6feLeWftk

[@Jsosa787]

Dude over 6 minutes to get to the point

[@karenross7391]

This feels more of a ui role. If you’re not doing research and analysis you’re not doing ux.

[@KaYungCalebLai]

there is a role called ux researcher, and that is totally different from designing the actual product.

[@starogre]

600+ companies? doesnt that mean you aren't doing very well at the interviews?

[@KaYungCalebLai]

1st of all, you need to be good enough to secure an interview. and 2nd, most companies I talked to are for contract work, that's why the number is high.

[@zipazip]

600 companies my ass...

[@KaYungCalebLai]

closer to 700 now. Out of that 700 interviews, landed 103 clients. so that's about 1 in 7 close rate, not too bad.
