If they want you, they'll expedite the second round of interviews. Depends on how big of an organization it is for an expedited offer though.

Depends on where you are in the process but this is the reason (good) recruiters ask "Where are you in your search?" I'm always honest. If you're pre-screener, I would essentially re-write this post. Most recruiters appreciate polite honesty.

Hi fishies 🐠 I’m an Art Director that’s trying to transition over to UX Design. I have experience building websites and some previous freelance work doing some UI/UX. What’s the best route to transition over and would I need to apply for entry level roles? Does an AD role with a UI/UX focus even exist? I enjoy the thinking of UX design and am comfortable designing interfaces but I’m mostly unsure of the process of working with an UX team. Would love to hear your thoughts!
