Ex-Googler Reveals the Toughest Interview Questions

A step-by-step guide to handling behavioral, hypothetical, and design-focused interview questions.

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.
