Here's how you can showcase confidence in your UX expertise during job interviews and portfolio reviews.

STOP TALKING ABOUT BUTTONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have seen over 2000 case studies, and the majority start this way: "So, as you can see here, I designed a design system. And my design includes these buttons and alternate states. I chose the colour scheme and made the logo." Cool. Except, I have three different robots that already do that for me. And you are describing the ins and outs of your daily tasks that I don't care about. You want to be the expert, not educate me on how to do your job. I want to know HOW the button is important and WHY I should spend money on it. If you can't speak business terms, it doesn't matter how much expertise you have. If you don't speak their language, nobody will care.

Demonstrate a strong sense of emotional intelligence in additional to showing your technical abilities. UX design is about interfacing between a computer system and a human. If you can relate to common end user challenges and show that you can adapt those soft skills into UX considerations, you are providing great value. You are ensuring that the power of the system can be more fully utilized and not lost just because of a bad interface. Those types of losses have consequences beyond the loss of time on the project. Such losses also result in frustration between teams. Technical ability combined with emotional intelligence and context, allows organizations to lose less money and momentum to frustration and failed projects.

é importante estudar sobre a empresa, fazer uma pré sele??o mental de cases que mais se encaixam com os pré requisitos da vaga e com o universo (nicho) da empresa. Por causa disso, é importante conhecer seus trabalhos, suas experiências e seus cases para que você enquanto profissional consiga contar da sua experiência e agregar valor durante a entrevista.

1. Review Each Screen: Go over each screen meticulously, noting all features, design elements, and interactions. Be prepared to discuss the rationale behind every element and feature you have in your case study 2. Describe your design process: Be ready to explain the project's objectives, target audience, and any constraints you faced. Design Process: Describe your design process, from initial research and ideation to prototyping and testing. 3. Prepare for Common Questions: What Problem Does This Solve? Be ready to explain how a feature addresses a specific user problem. What Alternatives Did You Consider? Discuss any alternative designs or features you considered and why you chose the current one.

One of the most common things in storytelling by designers is having a linear progression in each design stage. Most case studies typically start with some user research, then proceed to low-fidelity and high-fidelity prototypes, and exhibit the final product. It is rather advised to consider the notion that design is essentially an iterative process, far beyond a simple linear process. Effective storytelling is explaining the conflicts faced, versions revised, and starting over from different design stages transcending through the iterations to perfect a product to tackle most challenges.

Clearly articulate your design decisions with a solid rationale. Explain the problem, your approach, and the outcomes with data-based outcomes

Todo mundo é contador de história, a oratória veio antes da escrita e antes a comunica??o era feita no bate papo, passar conhecimentos e a sobrevivência de culturas era tudo através do 'contar histórias'. Muuuuita gente fala sobre storytelling, a importancia disso, vende curso, o que realmente importa é você treinar, conhecer sua história, entender seus aprendizados, lembrar das pessoas que te ajudaram no processo, lembrar quais foram suas atribui??es, contar as adversidades e desafios que passou e o que fez para superar estes obstáculos.

Storytelling creates a compelling narrative, making your projects engaging and memorable. It highlights your connection to the project and showcases your design process effectively. Craft your story by adding: Hook: Start with an engaging introduction. Personal Connection: Reflect on your motivations and growth. Context: Provide background information and set the scene. Journey: Walk through your design process step-by-step. Solution: Present the final design and its benefits. Outcome: Share results, user feedback, and lessons learned.

As a PM who's had to interview a lot of UX people, the stories are so important. What was the journey - did you talk to users; how did you use the feedback to make design decisions; what were the deciding factors in your decisions?

Adaptabilidade é fundamental, porque mostra que você conhece o processo, as ferramentas e o ecossistema o suficiente para mudá-lo. No design gráfico se falou muito já sobre quebrar o grid, em UX o quebrar o grid seria você conhecer tanto princípios, ferramentas e ter repertório o suficiente pra propor algo novo. N?o rejeite o que existe e é aceito, entenda, estude, siga...e daí você vai ter domínio o suficiente para mudar. Adaptabilidade mostra senioridade.

Showcasing changes made after usability testing provides concrete evidence that your design decisions are based on actual user data and insights, rather than assumptions or personal preferences.

Consider to talk about: Improved Metrics: Provide quantitative results, such as improved task completion rates, reduced error rates, or increased user satisfaction scores after implementing changes. Qualitative Feedback: Share qualitative feedback from users that indicates a positive change in their experience with the product.

Reflita criticamente sobre seus projetos anteriores, destacando aprendizados e melhorias. é importante deixar claro os próximos passos do projeto, como seus projetos foram ao sucesso ou ao fracasso. Isso n?o só revela autoconhecimento, mas também mostra seu compromisso com o desenvolvimento contínuo e em se aprimorar. Todo mundo reconhece um profissional que tem um senso crítico apurado, que mostra que está em constante evolu??o.

One of the best ways to share UX solutions is to demonstrate a solution that you have either thought through or better yet, created as a simulation or client integration. Prospects appreciate active research that when discussed, produce a unique observation. While you may have visited their website prior to the interview, what UX have you seen on other sites, or thought of that would make using the site better? Be prepared to explain why and who it helps--it can't be just you. Improvement = providing proficient results. Make the personal decision to a particular part of the UX and be prepared to explain how your knowledge is only an example of what you bring to the table.

Confian?a no projeto e na equipe, em você mesmo. Consistência e autenticidade em suas a??es refor?am sua posi??o como um profissional seguro e capaz, promovendo um ambiente de confian?a mútua na equipe.

Embrace discussing your failures openly. Remember, we are all human, even your interviewers. Let's all recognize that there is no such thing as a perfectly closed project. We all make mistakes (at least I do). Although discussing failure can be challenging, sharing a failure or two, what you did to resolve the situation, and the lessons you learned will significantly benefit you.

If you want to be prepared consider have a presentation with ready answers about your project. It could help you communicate your design process, decisions, and outcomes clearly and effectively.
