Can you walk me through your portfolio and talk about where you collaborated?

Not really a number of questions but I am looking for three things and I ask questions around those things. First is that they can explain not what they did but why they did it. Usually here I will pick something about their portfolio and ask around that. Second is to see how engaged they are in design. Do they think about it outside work. Usually I will ask them to tell me about a product they have recently used that nailed the UX and why. Third is if they have initiative. Do they go after problems or wait to be told what to do.

A company was pretty aggressively recruiting me until 4 interviews in — no movement. I haven’t heard back in a week and a half about next steps. Should I assume I won’t be moving forward any longer?

But other than that, is there anything else I should work on separately for each one?

Do I bring in my recruiter or reach out through connections? Is using a recruiter beneficial to me, or am I better off on my own? How does their fee play in to what I could get as a package?
