Hey! To prep for an enterprise ux designer interview would you prepare a portfolio deck or would you review your portfolio site? The role I am interviewing for is the first and only ux designer on a team of predominantly project managers.

Have you asked your interviewer(s) their preference?

I’ve done both and I would say a pdf is more reliable for screen sharing and would be specifically tailored for that job interview. A pdf also can give you a better estimate for time management, and you can add in breaks that allow for any questions.

Generally the interviewer(s) have already reviewed your site and will have specific questions about your work. If you happened to create a pdf that doesn’t cover the interviewer(s) questions you can always pull your site up for visuals to cover it.

Long term enterprise designer and my current position I was in the same boat. Mainly just show that you understand basic principles and show the boring stuff - nothing too fancy but keep some fancy in. They are probably looking for a well rounded person that gets the boring and the fancy. I've also since hired for our team, so show strategic thinking.

More importantly, in the interview no one is going to look at your deck. They are going to ask you questions. They would've looked at your deck beforehand. If you were interviewing with a design team it would make sense to bring it in but as this is for the only designer on the team, they won't ask to see your portfolio. Just show that you can be professional and answer the questions as honestly as you can and you should be fine. Most product/project managers think they are UX/UI designers but you are the expert in that room.

Name the most ridiculous micro-managing by partners that you experience.

I’ll go first: MP told me that on initial emails, I am always to start with “Hello [name],” but after the initial email, I am not to address her by name again in the same thread. Initial greeting can only be “Hello [name] ” because just first name is too brisk and a “Hi [name]” is too informal. Had a 5 minute, in depth conversation as to why she prefers it this way…

Recent career-switcher here. While I’m a veteran with the ad process, I am new to the UX agile process. Is it normal to not use briefs whatsoever? Is it normal for the UX research lead to have a stakeholder workshop (sans designers) to think of concept “thought starters,” then have a separate meeting with the UX design lead to vote on which 1 of 3 concepts to proceed with? In advertising, this is analogous to the client and researchers doing the campaign idea then telling the CD to execute it.
