You might excel at one of the areas and eager to show it but we will want to see how you show all of these.
Show us your portfolio. It doesn’t matter if it’s a perfected with visual design or minimal examples of your work. The goal for us to understand how you’d fit in the team.
Even if we like to see high-quality design deliverables, at this stage we evaluated your ability to understand the impact of your work.
It’s great to see outputs of your work like user journeys, conceptual models, wireframes, prototypes, and more. But we’ll also want to know about your outcomes and impact: what you achieved and what changed because of it.
Our first conversation helps us get to know you and your background while helping you get to know us. We’ll ask about your past work, what motivates you, and what you’re looking for next in your career. We’ll share more info about our teams and products, the designer role, compensation, benefits, and more. A good ending to this conversation is that we both feel confident about our next steps forward… even if that’s to part ways.
This conversation focuses on your design experience and how you approach strategy, execution, and collaboration in your work. We’ll ask you to walk us through one of your recent design projects that shows a range of different skills. Then we’ll ask you questions focused on how you consider products, competition, problems, customers or users, your colleagues, and more as part of that effort.
