Why advertising, and stress how much you know about processes. Fave campaigns and why. Some behavioural are when you messed up and how did you handle it. Usually if you have agency experience you’ll be good. Good luck!

Look for key qualifications & skills they’ve listed in the job description and be prepared with a story to answer how you might meet each criteria. In general, here’s some common questions:

Why client/account services?
Tell me a project you were most proud of working on and your role
How have you handled a challenging client?
Describe a time when things didn’t go to plan, how did you handle it?
What do you look for in a manager?
How do you stay organized?

Hello friends,
I wanted to share that I am in my first job as ui/ux expert and I am the only ux/ui person in the team. I am expected to take care of entire research and design of the product. It becomes very overwhelming as the product that I am working on is in a early phase and I am expected to think about ui as well as ux and also design entire app on my own.There is no user interview or user testing happening as my project manager thinks it can be done after product is launched. Please help!
