Asking the interviewer if they have any reservations. It is very scary but like you said - potentially very powerful. Thank you for the video.

I really love your videos and appreciate the high quality. If there’s one thing I would like to hint at: „there is nothing bad about pausing!“ 😃 to me it often feels like you are rushing through the valuable tips. Hearing them for the first time, it sometimes feels a little stressful to follow - which is super sad, coz your content is gold! Just one humble opinion. 😊

Hey V, great video as always. Much appreciations! I just want to mention a recent interview of mine, where I eventually thought that everything went well and in 3 days I received a rejection. During the interview they just asked me questions about me to just kind a get to know me. Than some questions related to how my work process looks like. I mean questions that I definitely expected and had prepared for. There was one question related to my portfolio cases, which was "Is any of these cases a real project, like for a real client". Where I was like super transparent and said no, like only conceptional cases, although some of theme might be also considered as a real world project/problem. (like the case for "Vodafone"). And than, as I said, I received an Email with a rejection. I followed up with another Email and asked for some sort of a feedback, so I can understand what went wrong, what I have missed. And than they send me back a quick feedback, which was "We are looking for someone with more work-experience in UI/UX, but you have definitely a lot of potential and we believe that you will soon find your dream job as a UI/UX designer"

That's the problem. Breaking into a UX design job is REALLY hard. They tend to prefer seasoned individuals with actual projects. 😔😔😔😔

I’m not sure if you have covered this subject already, but I think many people would find it useful if you covered live UX tests/case studies in Interviews. It’s freaking me (and many I know) out to be judged live in Figma like that, and thinking while being observed (2 hours).

Excellent content & advice! I wonder if you have advice for those transitioning into UX from a graphic design background? I have 7 years of design experience and recently completed a few courses in UX but I’m having rather a hard time managing my expectations of where I would fit in(jr/mid/sen) and how to portray my experience without the interviewer disregarding my background? I hope this makes sense.

Hi! Thanks for the video! I've been working as a designer for 7 years and feel like my portfolio is weak. I have only 3 projects I'm ready to show which didn't have an ideal design process, sometimes we skipped the testing phase and just discussed mockups with the team. As a result, many recruiters reject telling they've found a better match. How to deal with that situation? Regarding the showing excitement, after hundreds of rejections it goes away and it's hard to show it, what would you recommend? Thank you!
@vaexperience Жыл бұрын
Make projects, document them, keep learning and doing UX. You know what's lacking - get after it. You can do a lot of self directed work to practice and show the missing skills. You also need to reflect if the next opportunity is right in terms of those gaps. Your portfolio should show the work you can and want to do in the next role, so realistically the progression will be slow. Consider if 7 years in one place? or less in any other place that will no help you continue growing. I always say to pick the opportunities that will be long term focused, as the ones that are comfy today will definitely not grow you as a speciualist and thus will keep your portfolio the same too.
@mim.r44992 жыл бұрын
Answering this question how I would face a situation which needs convincing someone (usaully at higher hierarchy level) that it may work better on a longer-term to do so....and not so...why is that difficult? Because no matter how advanced your communication skills are and how good your idea is, the wrong person at right job sucks, specially at higher level. He/she will not stay professional and take it at personal level.I have some negative experience and still haven't learnt how to solve it. Cos if you stay quiet, your performance and the entire team's performance can bi negatively impacted, and if you try to solve it with facts at professional level, nevertheless, 1. "You" get problem because your manager or...sees it as an unnecessary conflict, 2. The problem will be not solved! What do you think how we as junior or mid-level designers can face someone who want us only as tool, not brain?! ;)
@Fran43CG Жыл бұрын
I would say... work on proving that your design works by setting up a usability test of A/B test even if it's with 5 people. Analyze, report, present your findings. If it's THAT important for your design, show them, not only tell them. That way you have proof. Do what you have to do to get the point across.
