[@lucielewis6438]

Thank you so much!!! So interesting and helpful!

[@lucash2573]

These are absolutely fantastic videos for the budding UXR, thank you so very much!!! :)

[@chibipandora]

Really great tips! I also really like the wall of art behind you! The it really gives the place a great personal-professional vibe that fits a mentoring video!

[@suziross]

This is a fantastic resource! I wish I'd asked some of these in an interview I had yesterday.

[@isabellu624]

Very very useful information! Really appreciate your sharing👍

[@miach89.]

I literarily think you are talking to me in this video. Lol. Great tips. Thank you Aona.

[@aoquan1]

These interview related videos are so helpful. Thank you so much

[@gamma_girl]

Wow great questions thanks!

[@wasu05]

Got so much clarity of what to ask and what NOT to ask Aona. Thanks a lot for sharing these tips..

[@hmsc]

Hi Aona! I'm not a UXR, but I'm interviewing for a Producer role for a UXR team. Your list of questions do give me a fresh perspective on what are the more critical questions I should ask. So thank you!

[@nazlgokcayr693]

Hey Aona, I am an UX designer who has a coming up UXR interview. Your videos helped me a lot and cleared my ideas. I had some hesitations but thanks to your great explanations and making things easier to understand I feel more confident. 🙏

[@AonaTalks]

Don’t forget to check out this video on the infamous “trap questions” during UXR interviews 😉: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pp6cnZKbaZ6CodE

[@hollychen5538]

Hi Aona, I absolutely love your content, and thanks for contributing to the community. I'm wondering if you would be able to share more about the UXR methodologies, thanks!

[@hazeljean9803]

thanks Aona!! The second piece of advice that you mentioned vividly reminds me what my recent interview looked like. So, I had my final interview with one of my fav companies..and I was overly passionate and that makes the discussion really awkward for both of us. I also think I cringed too much... Yea, so don't be too over prepared and feel being incapable. You are a worthy person!!

[@AonaTalks]

Soooo true!!

[@anirudhganesh]

you're not alon :') same thing happened to me

[@sharonyeunkim]

Thank you for posting this!! Just saw your post on LinkedIn. I also sent you a request and would love to connect!

[@yanzhao8555]

Thanks for the videos! I am always impressed about how fluent your English is and very curious about how you get so good at the language. Would you sometime talk a little bit about your English learning journey and tips?

[@AonaTalks]

YES! im planning on making one - and thank you for your kind words :)

[@christinaahmadzai3905]

Hi Aona! These are so wonderful! Thank you. I was wondering if you can still ask questions like "What is your ideal collaboration model of Research x design" when you are interviewing for a company like Google where your interview panel will not be those that you work with and how a team functions varies across so many different teams at Google.

[@AonaTalks]

That’s a great question!! Of course you can still ask about it - I would suggest you can frame it as you want to learn from other efficient collaboration models. It also doesn’t hurt to show your interviewer your vulnerabilities a little bit but sharing some difficulties/challenges you have experienced (and how you are combating the challenges now - introspection)!

[@meena7206]

Hi Aona, this is the first time I’m watching your video . Very informative and helpful. Thanks for sharing . Please share what kind of questions do you ask the recruiter? I’m wondering if you could ask UX team related questions to the recruiter

[@AonaTalks]

Welcome! Check out this video (the last chapter is about info to confirm with recruiter):kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6a7ZoqQi79pfZI Your recruiter is your interview partner so your questions to them should be all about the hiring and interview process, and company culture in general, not about the specific work (because most of the times recruiters won't know the detail of day to day life in a product team).

[@user-kt3dq9ho2u]

i swear u should try cosplay ada wong maam😭😭😭😭

[@anirudhganesh]

What would you ask a HR during the first round of telephone interview? apart from the company and their culture, is there anything else to question about?

[@AonaTalks]

I typically like to ask details about how many rounds of interviews there are to expect, and how long the process would normally take, assuming I can proceed to the next round :)

[@Youman291]

Uh oh... only 2 questions? I had an interview a last week and I asked like 10 questions. They let me go past the time we were supposed to end and the conversation went for an additional 30-40 minute 😬😬😬

[@AonaTalks]

Haha of course there will be unicorn interviewers 🦄 like this from time to time - I’m glad to hear yours went well! 💪🏼

[@user-kt3dq9ho2u]

no waayyy she has a husband😞
