My biggest struggle is curating the right projects to showcase in the portfolio. I strongly believe in quality over quantity. But then I also have a hard time wanting to showcase every skill and diversity of projects when there is so much to display. The advise I have gotten is to make separate portfolios and resumes for the focus of the positions you want to get interviews for.

I never did a separate portfolio, it was just suggestion I've gotten more than once. as of now I only have one portfolio with sections I can turn on and off depending what I want to showcase. UX designs or fully fleshed out Front End projects.

Additional Posts in UX and UI designers 🚀

Hi 👋 Any good UX books for senior designer level that helps with strategy, and good frameworks, or anything that will help me with my thought process? I have the basic books like don’t make me think, and 100 things. I’ll be joining a startup soon as chief designer, and will be back to being a full stack designer — I’ve been an IC for the past few years, so I definitely need to improve on strategies and maybe frameworks when it comes to UX. Will appreciate any suggestions. Thanks! 🙏🏻

I think I've failed twice in answering these correctly in my interviews

2. Did you design the components and design system?

I am product designer with a fair amount of experience (6yrs).

Recently was interviewed for a Sr. role in Booking but unfortunately, the team finds me better suited as a core individual contributor.

I am also in the advanced stages of some lead designer positions in other companies.

However, I am really interested in joining the team at Booking, especially because of the design culture.

What should be my reasons to accept or not accept the offer from booking?

I know the basics of testing and conducting workshops, but I don't know how to develop those skills further. My company focuses on UI and I haven't been lucky to land a PD job. Do companies really look for all those skills?
