I’ve been interviewing for Staff/Principal Product Designer roles and have come to the realization that I’m really bad at interviews (not a total shock, but I now see just how bad I am 🙃)

I’ve been lucky enough to land quite a few interviews over the last couple of months. I generally do well in recruiter screenings and advance to the next stage. Hiring manager and portfolio reviews is where I’m usually hitting the wall.

Are there interview recordings or something like that I could watch?

Are there specific questions or sections you’ve performed worse at in the hiring manager and portfolio interviews? Is it a confidence issue, lack of preparation, or a skills gap thing?

There’s lots of videos on the internet, but copying answers won’t help you if you don’t know how to grow into the role/company

like

Ah yeah, then what the manager below said, practice!!

There’s a few websites that help with interview practice virtually by video or whatever’s comfortable for you;

Final Round AI, Himalayas AI Interview, InterviewBot, Interviews.chat, StandOut, Exponent, etc.

Suggest video practice so you can record and watch back to see where you can improve

Yes but I think practice is best. Just having someone ask you questions and practice responding so you’re not caught off guard when you need to think on your feet. You can even use a virtual interviewer bot thingy if you don’t have someone to help you practice.

Cavatappi in Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce

Tired of of the same old boring tomato marinara sauce? Try a roasted red pepper cream sauce!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
