Here are my 5 practical interview tips to stand out in your UX job 🧵

Tip 1: Be genuine with the interviewers

I’ve interviewed 100+ people throughout my career
The ones that stood out showed that they care.
Before starting any interview:
✔ Research the company's values, missions
✔ Read about the hiring team (if possible)
✔  Be authentic


Tip 2: Honesty makes the best impression

Stop:
❌ Lying about years of exp
❌ Mentioning projects that don't involve you
❌ Saying big words but having nothing to show

Do this instead:
✔ Be honest about what you lack
✔ Show your willingness to learn
✔ Present a solid (factual) portfolio

Tip 3: Tell a story

Here's how
1️⃣ What? - Foundation
Mention your experience and personal design process.
2️⃣ How? - Demonstration
Give real-life examples where you've displayed the skills and qualities.
3️⃣ Why? - Values
Provide the impact your projects have brought.

Tip 4: Be OK with every scenario

The facts are:
You might not get the job
You might find a better job after this
You might hate the job afterward
And it's alright!

Treat job interviews professionally, not too seriously
Seriousness closes up our minds to the possibility

Tip 5:  Asking unique-smart questions

Not ones that can easily be found on Google
I’ll have a thread for must-ask questions in UX job interviews coming out soon! 

TL;DR

Stand out in any UX job interview with these 5 tips:

🔸 Be genuine, show that you care
🔸 Honesty makes the best impression
🔸 Tell a story by answering: What? How? Why?
🔸 Be OK if things don't go your way
🔸 Ask unique-smart questions (more detail in an upcoming thread)
