Quick Summary:
1. Skills Needed for UX Design Interviews
For internships, focus on 3 areas: portfolio walkthrough, app critique, and whiteboarding skills.
For full-time roles, focus on the same 3 areas but also prepare for more in-depth evaluations, including situational and behavioral questions.
2. Portfolio Walkthrough is Essential
Be prepared to clearly communicate your design decisions by treating design as a tool for communication.
In interviews, the best way to express intentionality is by explaining what you aimed to convey and how you achieved it through visuals or motion.
3. Handling Hypothetical & Behavioral Questions
Full-time interviews include behavioral and hypothetical scenarios. Prepare structured responses in advance, as these are commonly asked.
Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answers based on past experiences.
