Students with limited interview experience need to make some preparations in advance in order to calmly deal with interview questions. Here I have sorted out some core questions of designer interview, hoping to help you who are looking for a job. You can check for leaks and fill gaps ~
In addition to preparing resume and dress, it is more important to search in advance to understand the design situation of interview companies and competing products in the industry, which is helpful to deal with more design problems in the interview process; And answer around the company's values, so as to chat with the interviewer and give people a good impression of being professional and interested in business.
These pre-interview preparations will make the interviewer shine, improve the interviewer's estimate of you, and even affect the pass rate and salary evaluation.
1. Introduce yourself
The first question is to let the interviewer know you briefly. It is best to control the time within 3 minutes to introduce the basic situation and your career development. Time allows you to attach your hobbies and specialties, and you must extract your strengths and highlights.
It is best to interview the basic position around the recruitment information and simply prove the matching degree with the job requirements.
There is no need for senior positions, and mature companies will give people posts, so it is necessary to highlight the scarcity and uniqueness of personal abilities and experiences. Remember not to be too complacent, because this aspect reflects that it may be difficult for you to find your own shortcomings.
2. What do you think are the strengths and weaknesses in your work?
The focus is on your self-awareness of personality and the identification of work scene matching. Some interview books will teach you how to package shortcomings into advantages. For example, my weakness is that I pursue perfection too much, and I won't stop until I reach my goal ... I exaggerate and even talk about many advantages that I don't have, which will leave people with bad impressions such as dishonesty and intelligence.
Answer frankly, if you can stand the doubt, don't dig a hole for yourself, talk about your own shortcomings, attach some real cases and supplement some of your solutions.
For example: work is satisfied with normalization, more than smoothness, and innovation needs to be improved; Sometimes you don't think enough about dealing with problems. You usually need to study more, ask more questions and think more to improve your practical work ability and your ability to control your work. You should also insist on integrating theory with practice and pay attention to applying what you have learned.
3. What is your salary requirement?
The salary requirement is too low, which will reduce your ability; Too high a salary requirement will make you overweight and the company can't afford it.
For example, I hope my salary can reach * *. As far as I know, the salary range of this position in your company is A ~ B, and I have made a corresponding evaluation of myself in combination with my job responsibilities and requirements. I am willing to accept your next assessment and listen to the corresponding adjustments made by your company according to my personal ability.
4. Tell me about your most representative project?
Usually after self-introduction and basic information research, this is the first key question. It is used to examine the matching degree between the applicant's business background+professional skills and the recruiter.
Often the selection of projects needs to match the target position of the recruiter and the professional level of the current career. Among them, 1-3 years should be a single-person demand, 3-5 years should be a multi-person cooperation project, and 5-8 years should be a business line or design evolution in product development.
5. What UX metrics do you usually use to measure design?
Good UX design always revolves around users, and good UX designers can help users achieve the expected goals through reasonable interaction. Knowing how to evaluate a design and showing empathy is an important characteristic of an excellent designer. After all, good UX is a two-way communication, not only to bring the design to market, but also to use UX to help companies and teams achieve business goals.
You don't necessarily know all the UX indicators. You don't need to recite all the UX indicators, but is it necessary to remember them? UXM's six UX indicators, because they contain some popular indicators: satisfaction, recommendation, ease of use, rating, user tasks, product description.
6. How do you understand the user experience?
The interviewer examines whether you can only do design and drawing, and will not consider the user when doing the project to see if your understanding of design is profound.
This question needs to be combined with your own design work to explain your understanding of user experience. As a UI designer, or a graphic designer, you need to consider many issues, such as related interactive logic, visual effects, user experience and so on. Only by fully understanding the product and considering the product attributes from all angles can we design a design that is more in line with the product.
For example, I think different products are different for different users, and the user experience we need to consider is also different. For example, when choosing a speaker, you may consider some problems that affect the sound quality, volume, easy operation of keys and easy movement. After considering this series of problems, designers will give customers a better user experience and let them choose the products that suit them from many products.
7. What is the reason for your leaving your job?
In fact, the interviewer doesn't want to gossip about the problems of the former company. It is not the job of a professional designer to complain about the shortcomings of his former company behind his back. You can turn the question into-what kind of job do I need now? That is, focus on describing your work plan.
With regard to work planning, you can elaborate your expectations around three dimensions: business, specialty and team.
8. Why do you want to work in our company?
The interviewer also wants to know whether you are interested in this job or just want to take a chance. Doing your homework will also make HR think that your attitude is correct.
Can answer some detailed reasons, such as "the company's own high-tech development environment is very attractive to me." "In recent years, the company has developed steadily and is very competitive in the market." This shows that you have done some research and you have a clearer vision for your future.
9. What is your personal position in the team in the future?
I suggest you call a spade a spade. You can review your past position in the team and the position you expect to try in the future according to your own characteristics and development needs. This will give the interviewer more specific reference information.
For example, I am conscientious and responsible in my work. As a team leader of the former company, I can turn my conversations and suggestions into practical action steps. I hope that in the new company, I can contribute to developing and integrating new ideas and promoting team action.
