I've never commented under a RUclips video before, but just want to thank you so much for your videos! I smashed my UX job interview thanks to these videos and have scored my first ever job in UX!! Keep doing what you're doing cause you're definitely changing lives with these videos ☺️
More comments like this please!!! Congratulations 🎊🎉🍾!!
@@AonaTalks I'm just getting out there in UX from academica, so I will let you all know about utilizing your videos and my experience
I'm having my first interview this week and I'm using these videos to help prepare me. :) Wish me luck guys!!
This is pure gold I am preparing for my UXR interview and if I land this job will be thanks to you.
This is the most useful video I have seen on UXR interview prep. I promise I will come back here to comment if I land the job thanks to you! I already feel so confident.
Cannot thank you enough for accomodating practical examples in a 10 minute video ! I am so thankful to come accross your channel 💛 you're literally the light at the end of the tunnel for me !
I'm a psychology student and I'm doing my masters and I want to venture into UXR roles...I've been feeling so de-motivated and lost, but whenever I feel like doing something instead of just "thinking" about shifting or tansitioning to UXR, I always see yours YT videos (: they're so helpful and educational !
Can't thank you enough 🥰
I’m in the same boat as you, haha! Wishing you luck!!!
Great video. Coming from a consulting standpoint, I've experienced clients prescribing research methods for the research teams to use. In that scenario it's important to be tactful about it- for example not saying "well that's stupid", and saying things like "I hear you, but what if we did it in such and such way?".
Hands down THE MOST HELPFUL UX research interview prep video! I always link this video of yours as the "starter vid" for my friends who are in the interview process:)
Hi Aona,
I have gone through most of your UX videos and each of them as aided me to learn, understand and empathise better with the stream. But the video on UX Traps is hidden gem! The information with examples is nothing less than treasure to me. In my technical interview round I was given two trap questions punched in one! Specific method & finding best alternative - the moment I heard the question, your video flashed in my mind & with ease I navigated through tricky question! That's the impact you had on my interview. Thank you for armouring & enabling me to become better version of myself! More power to you!💯🏅👏
THIS IS GOLDEN🥇Thank you for providing us insights and new perspectives! Love your channel❤
Yay another video ! This is great insight 👍
Aona, your content is really awesome! I'm a newbie aspiring UXR and i'm really learning a lot with your videos!
Fantastic video Aona! Thanks so much for such valuable insight!! I have a UXR technical job interview in a couple of days and I'm really grateful for your videos! Keep up the good work!
Let us know how it goes! Good luck 🎉
This is so helpful! Thank you so much!
Your videos are super helpful! Thank you for this unique information. I'm pretty sure it would help me to find my dream job!
These are very practical tips, thanks for sharing! I was asked the futuristic question in one of my interviews and didn't know how to respond. And I face the first 2 scenarios often at work.
wow super useful information, I have a UX interview soon so this will be of so much value :)
Your content is so good!! Please never stop making videos. You're helping many folks!
Thank you!!
I'm a practicing UXR 1, you really have amazing content out there. Great effort and initiative from your end. Thank you
About further behaviour, could you talk about future scenario based pointers about the future consumer
I have an interview today, thank goodness you just uploaded this! Thank you:)
How did the interview go? :)
Thank you this helps so much !!
Hello Aona, I found this video very, very helpful! I have been a User Researcher for 6+ years now but I have never really been part of a product environment. Now, that I am in the process of interviewing for a tech organisation, this information comes at just the right time. In fact, in my first round of technical interview, I was asked a trap question (no. 3, to be precise). I off course, didn't know that's what it was at that time! While I attempted it to the best of my ability, I wasn't sure how well I did. I was pleasantly surprised to later find out that I have advanced :) I am now in the middle of the prep for my onsite interviews. Thanks again, appreciate your guidance :)
Hi Aona! Thank you for making all series about UXR interviews. Very helpful! Tomorrow is my very first interview for UX / Product Research Lead role by the PM's, so excited for people like me which mostly involved in non-profit or scientific research projects. I am ready to learn many things! Wish me to have tons of luck!
Wow wow very best luck with the interview!!
Wow so valuable informtion!
This is gold! Thank you
I'm just learning about UXR and very excited to learn more! Subscribing to learn more. Would be great to get some recommendations for videos on how to start getting a job in UXR with no experience or formal education (my education is Psychology at UCLA)
Love your content!!
HI Aona!
I love these videos, they are super helpful, as I have a UX Researcher interview coming up! (fingers crossed) In your opinion, do you feel that many of these questions and techniques also apply to a Games User Researcher role? Besides being more geared towards gaming of course! Thank you :)
Great video! Thanks. Recently, I had an interview with a DeFi company. But I didn't fall into any of these traps. But they didn't offer me a job anyway. Maybe they are looking for something else. But I think they didn't see these traps as a trap. They were genuinely asking me to answer their questions. Do you have any suggestions for these type of interviews? Thanks.
I fell into a trap today when she asked if my research is more generative or evaulative. Should have said both, but I'd actually never heard of the dichotomy before so I said evaluative and just detailed the research I do 😂 whoops
I watched all the videos in the playlist, but the next ones are private :) Are you going to add more clips to this useful playlist?
Yes of course! More to come!
I'm working on a Futuristic project right now and I made a survey with the tips toy made. I'm still nervous on if I asked the right questions. You are such a sweetheart I would love to just pick your brain to ask of aim going in the right direction. Are you still taking mentees? I'll pay for your coffee I just need a master to look over what I currently have cooked up!!!! Love you from New York
I love #4 because it is something I always get stuck on. I do have a question in relation to it. What if it is a feature that is similar to what other competitor products have, but this particular feature is a bit different? Other than finding out if users currently are using this type of feature, would you also dig into how it compares to the competitor's feature?
What you are describing sounds like a general concept testing scenario? I would figure out what _exactly_ the difference is and evaluate whether that is a _true_ user need.
@@AonaTalks This is an old thread, but I'm having trouble understanding when to take the "analyze competitor" approach vs. the "concept testing" approach. Doesn't concept testing break your rule of "don't ask about future behavior"? Thanks for helping a newbie understand,
The submarine doesn't go to the bottom of the Earth. lol Do another Research for this one.
😂
You have only got to hear this once - This writer stands ALONE without competition.
Hey Aona, could you elaborate more on the future behavior scenario. Would you take the same approach if it was for a product for which there is no past precedence and hence no past behavior to indicate future behavior? How do you justify qualitative research in this case which is typically a much smaller sample size..to justify launching a product that is looking for mass uptake?
You can almost *always find past behavior to guide future strategy because new technology is created to solve for a real need/pain. Take Uber as an example, it didn’t exist, but taxis and the pain of getting from point A to point B always existed. Same with the famous Ford example - cars didn’t exist, but slow transportation (ie horses are slow) was always a pain. And you don’t need a big sample size to dig out that insight.
I had an interview that involved trap #2. Three headphone designs (models A,B,C) which is the one that should be taken to market? The only difference was the “company” really wanted to take model C to market. I asked clarifying questions, but wasn’t sure what they were really trying to accomplish because everything I asked was met with, “we just want to launch model C in less than 6 months” and that all the models were really similar, model C just is faster to make.” I was kinda stumped after. I guess it happens in real world scenarios where a company has often made their mind up on a product and wants to do things as fast as possible.
@@RuthMcDougal Maybe they were trying to see how you tackle obstacles like this. It could be that the company (you were interviewing with) culture is like this and they wanted to test your negotiation skills on how you can convince cross-functional team members to do research on the designs even though they're perceived the same. Model C being faster to make doesn't make it better than other designs.
还会做中文视频吗？
