How would you answer “how do you deal with conflicting feedback from your teammates?”

@@michelechen2770 Hi, I just learnt that the best answer for this question would be - "I would understand that the criticism is not meant for me. It is not an attack on me as a person or as a UX Designer. It's just that the solution I proposed is not the right solution at the moment. So, I'll go back in there and iterate and will try to come up with a different solution that both I and my peer would agree upon".

why isn't there a UI interview when you are offering the same course separately? is the field of UI so small that people don't get jobs in UI?

As someone with autism, interviews are absolute hell. I've been studying tips and watching videos like I have an exam that's worth 90% of my grade for my imaginary class. Determining the hidden meanings behind these questions is incredibly difficult.

Your suggestions were very helpful. I would love to hear similar topics on better communication. I am very direct and often that does not work to my advantage.

This feel like a slap on my face because I actually bombed the LAST interview in a nice company because when interviewed by the Director, I answered exactly like you said it was a wrong way to answer. And listening to you spell it out, made me realize how it actually sounded. I didn't even need to listen to the right way to understand what I did wrong. Hopefully I won't bomb the next one.

For question 3, the interviewers also try to see how good of a storyteller you are as a designer and if you engagingly summarise essential information. Love every second of this video by the way, with these great presentation skills! The elaboration on the two types of answers is just another level!

Main takeaway is recruiters donc known how to ask a question in order to get the answer they want... Maybe it would be nice to have a video translating questions ? "Walk me through a particular project" translated into "What was your implication in this particular project?" The way it's presented in this video makes job seeker feel like they don't understand questions properly when really it's the recruiters that are not clear enough / Competent enough

Thank you for making this video! It really helped me prepare myself for some upcoming class assignments while also helping me for when I begin to apply to jobs in this area. I never thought about asking the employer to walk me through how projects normally go with the team. I can see how that would be pretty beneficial to see if you would work well if the process and people involved. I can see now that when people ask you a question they are not just asking you to answer it but also to expand upon it and respond with a question of your own.

I'm a bit curious about point n4 where Dee made the case of admitting a mistake, which is true and important to take, however, mentioning you were ready to launch the product and find problems in the process at the very last might be a red flag for those interviewing. This is because those hiring you might interpret it as a lack of work quality while doing UX research or prototyping, especially when applying with big companies that value time as their most precious resource.

I do agree that the two sentences state almost the same but the "...this is something where I feel like I can bring a lot to your team" part make it complete different in my opinion. I would understand that that candidate "can bring a lot" whereas in reality (s)he cannot because doesn't have enough experience, which is precisely the real intention, gain it. Could you elaborate further about this expectation vs reality mismatching Thank you!
