What are some smart things to talk about during interview with UX director? Or what type of ux questions should I expect? I'm visual designer interviewing for product design..

Also, soft skills are really important. I'd rather train someone into the role that is eager, wanting to learn and I can put in front of a client vs someone who may have great design chops but not be a team player.

Ask exactly about the type of work and skills needed for the role, ask about the most common type of projects/deliverables you'd be working on, ask about the typical project timelines and most importantly about what the team's biggest challenges are. This will let you know if you have the skill set needed for the role, or if it's something you can grow into and what the drama with the department is (bc there's always some drama). Remember that the catalyst for the interview is that the company needs to hire someone to do work (Maybe with an urgent need) and they want someone who is capable, has the required skill set and is pleasant enough that they'll be a good team player and that they won't quit after a month and be a poor investment.

Do you have experience in interface design or designing for user needs? Have you facilitated any user research? What do you like best about experience design? Where on the ux spectrum do you fall... research and uncovering user needs or interaction and interface design? What do you want to learn? How do you want to grow?

You're so amazing. Thank you!

I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.

Friendly tip from a former recruiter & HR PM.

Under no circumstances disclose how much you make or what you want to make.

Tell the recruiter,” I need to interview to learn more about the specific details of this opportunity before I’ll know how much I need to accept a potential offer…”

I discuss & other do’s and dont’s on IG.

Hi fishies. I have a ton of interviews coming up soon including a case interview at EY within their Innovation and Experience Design practice for Digital Strategy Manager. I am super comfortable with CX, design thinking, etc which are the types of projects I would be working on BUT I am absolutely terrible in case interviews. I was hoping it would be based on CX or design but my understanding is there is some revenue component idk. Anyone have any insight? I would greatly greatly appreciate it!
