The #1 way to land UX interviews
Are you someone who's been applying to 200+ jobs and not getting any callbacks? Even though there may be many reasons for this, there is one major thing that most people forget to do and that is target networking. In this video, I talk about what this is, why it's important, and even examples of how to actually do it.

    This really resonated with me especially people having the most opinions that know the least about design! I once worked in a company where the director always had the last word regardless of any data we presented him with, user research or inputs from anyone else in the team and it was really frustrating to work like that.

    A couple of takeaways I have drawn from this video that might help you stand out during your job searching: 1. It is important in the first instance to think through the whole process in order to understand what the scope of the solution is going to be so we don't spend more time than needed or we run out of time to conclude the challenge. 2. It is noticeable that during the discovery phase she put on her researcher's hat and that was her main focus. It is important for a moment to think only about understanding the problem in depth. Ask yourself, how do I understand this problem, what resources do I need to soak up the issue? While it is vital in the design process to have a strategic vision to consider the different forces and tendencies that influence the solution, it is equally important to be able to focus, even for a moment, just on the user; to look in detail to get information like the one you proposed: why is this problem happening to this person?, what would be the positive sides of improving this situation?, what is the user not seeing that influences their problem?, what problems do people face in tracking their situation?, what tools do they use today? What i'm trying to say if focus real deep in the user and the particular problem, rather than thinking in the common design proccess that we learn at college. 3. Going back to the issue of being strategic, you have to consider the whole context, which means thinking about integrations with other apps, the permissions that this app is going to ask the user for and also the empty states; what happens when I haven't added content yet or I have already consumed what I had in my profile?, how do I communicate and convince the user to continue using the app? I haven't seen this kind of approach much in design challenge videos and it's appreciated that she showed it. That's what I take away from the video, thank you very much for the information, Linda.

    Create customer value. You need to give the customer rational reasons to buy the product. More importantly, you need to create a positive emotional impact. Sales is the report card.
