    • @ujjwalxdesign
      @ujjwalxdesign 15 дней назад

      As a fresher the recruiter (if it’s a solid recruiter) will not expect you to have these answers, but they will test you how you try to answer these questions through logic and how honest you are about them. The best way to answer such questions is always to address the fact that “you currently don’t have any past experience solving it, however if you were to solve this is how you would approach” Also to have these answers prepared, watch other designers talk about it.

      They can be either, depending on your experience, if you are early on in your career it’s great to have some challenging dummy projects.

    Hello! I really enjoyed today's tip as I was preparing for interviews and needed guidance. I was about to take a nap😴, but your video popped up on RUclips. It motivated me to get up and head to my study table. I took notes📓 on all the small points you mentioned and there I wrote 8 points😄. Now, I'm ready to tackle those interview questions! Here the some questions interviewer asked me - 1.Can you describe your experience as a UI/UX designer? 2. What motivated you to pursue a career in UI/UX design? 3. Can you explain the purpose of usability testing and how you conduct it? 4. How do you collaborate with developers, product managers and other team members during a design project? 5. How do you approach a new design project from start to finish? 6. What UI/UX design tools and software are you proficient in?. 7. Can you explain the importance of user personas and user journeys in your design process? 8. What tools and techniques do you use for wireframing and prototyping? 9. How do you ensure that your designs are user-centered and accessible to a diverse audience? Thank you.

    • @ujjwalxdesign
      @ujjwalxdesign Месяц назад

      Glad to hear that, I’ll take one question out of these, for design process I have answered in another comment. Can you explain the purpose of usability? The purpose of usability to get early feedback on your design or product so that you are able to make informed decisions based on the feedback. For a live product, usability also gives us qualitative feedback on what are the pain points of the user which may not have been apparent through analytics. Hope this helps.

    • @ujjwalxdesign
      @ujjwalxdesign Месяц назад

      I think the best answer to this question is always contextual, your design process should depend on the project you are working on and the timelines you are given. According to that you decide what process do you want to follow. Emphasise on understanding and validating the problem statement, making multiple iterations and testing design directions.

    Hi Ujjwal in my company we do UI designs only as it's a small company UX is not given importance. Now I want to switch the company, so can I apply for a job only as a UI designer also what should my portfolio look like as I have done no UX in my projects. I'm just waiting for your reply. Thx

    • @ujjwalxdesign
      @ujjwalxdesign 2 месяца назад

      You will be reducing opportunities for yourself if you just apply for UI roles and not take up product design/UX roles. Here is what I suggest you do: having good UI is a skill not many people possess, so that will be an advantage that you will have over others. The only filter that will impact your application is that you don’t have any part of UX in your portfolio. What you can do is spend sometime and do dummy projects focusing on doing some research on your own. Find a problem to solve around you, whose users are people in your circle so that user research becomes easier for you. Try to make your portfolio complete with both UI and UX projects. While you are at it, practice presenting your work, with your friends, or whoever you can find. Working in agencies also doesn’t give you ample opportunities to present your work. I think all this will solve for the gap you feel you might have.

      @ujjwalxdesign 2 месяца назад

      You can choose any product or a problem that you feel passionate about, however if you really specifically want to pick something, don’t do a landing page or a mobile app which has just login and a couple of listing screens, make something that showcases at least some level of complexity in user flows. It’s also great if you could design both desktop and mobile versions of it. A lot of companies which are hiring these days are either web dashboard products or consumer products which have a backend CRM or a user management dashboard which requires design efforts. Thanks.

    Entry level candidates should focus more on research than anything else. Not in their folio but in their practice. This is because it teaches designers how to make informed decisions. The rest of what he mentioned as far as visual design and figma is quite honestly completely irrelevant to your ability to create business value. We can teach you auto layout or throw a tutorial at you over the weekend. Bur we can’t teach someone the ability to take calculated risks or compromise time or features and drive collaboration by connecting the right stakeholders to overcome an impossible pitfall or failure…over a weekend. So no. As a hiring manager I could care less about your auto layout skills. I care a lot about how hungry you are to serve the user and what lengths you have gone to in order to at least envision what that approach to getting there would be for you.

    • @ujjwalxdesign
      @ujjwalxdesign 8 месяцев назад

      Hey thanks for putting across your view point. Here is my take on it: you wouldn’t expect an entry level designer to have the ability to take calculated risk, prioritise features, etc. That’s something you learn with experience. You can not learn to work on a live product straight out of college. So at least the basics should be clear, if I have an option I would select a portfolio basis the points I mentioned in the video. But hey that’s just the criteria for portfolio selection, you do get grilled on your design thinking in interview rounds. Anyway, it’s better when I know who I am speaking with to address properly, so hey maskedvillianai could you help introduce yourself? :)

  • @AtomicPixels
    @AtomicPixels 8 месяцев назад

    The answer is. Write your case study as if you’re telling one of your friends about the project in 5 min. You’d get something quite different than what we usually have. You’d be talking about things that you actually got excited about. You’d describe things as if they don’t know everything about the product. Or anything. You’d get to the fuggn point. You’d explain why, how, not just what. And you def wouldn’t be pulling out some template whilst in the middle of a conversation. Because my god, just stop with the case study formats. The rest is honestly BS, no one cares. We want to know you
