UX Job Search Tips: Common UX Job Interview Questions

[@pvilian]

summary: 1:58 your UX portfolio needs to tell a story - don't dump photos and leave it at that 3:18 prepare for Q&A on your projects during onsite interviews - what are some products with great UX? - which products don't have good UX? (looking for you UX intuition) - how might you fix UX problems on those products? - prepare for interactive design exercises: work with your interviewer to solve the problem >>> talk through your ideas. be honest if you don't know. it's ok to back out of a bad idea. 7:37 research the company and the design team - what are they looking for? what are they doing? - look at their Twitter, LinkedIn - come up with intelligent questions about their work. if you don't have any, you may come off as disinterested or not inquisitive extra tips: - bring your own laptop - extra local copy of your portfolio in case WiFi not working - bring copy of resume just in case

Excellent video, Sarah. Just found your channel and am slowly getting hooked! My portfolio consists of three case studies, two from school and one from a small freelance project (and by small, i mean doing querrilla testing and interviews i.e small scale ux methods). For the two school projects, should I be honest to interviewers about how they were school projects or should I find a way to make them seem like real projects I did for an imaginary company? I ask because I do not have any real experience working with a company but I do have some experience doing small scale methods for freelance

Hey Sarah, if you don't want to see all text, then what do you want to see? Text and images or should I draw out the storyboard like it's a movie?

I have 12 years of experience as a designer and I've been working for 5 years at the same company, and now that I moved to another country, speaking another language and I have to find a new job, I've been overthinking and the impostor syndrome is always with me. But the worst for me is the motivation: I want to work with something that could help people. That was what I wanted to do when I started working as a designer. I don't want to share my knowledge to make people buy more stuffs and consume, you know? Does anyone here thinks like this too?
