\n<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nQuestion 1: Tell us about yourself and how you got into UX<\/h2>\n
This is a popular opening question for a UX design job interview. The purpose of it is for the interviewer to get an idea of your passion for your chosen career and your experience so far. However, this isn\u2019t just about your UX background. As the introductory question to the interview, the interviewer is also trying to get a feel for your personality and interests. They\u2019ll be using the information you provide to see if you\u2019re a good \u201ccultural fit\u201d for the design team and for the company as a whole. When talking about yourself, try not to focus too heavily on the personal; instead, use your experiences both in and out of the workplace to demonstrate why you\u2019re the best person for this role.<\/p>\n
When it comes to how you got into UX design<\/a>, use this moment to show your enthusiasm and passion for your chosen career. You could mention a colleague who inspired you or a particular work project that sparked your interest in UX. You might also want to talk about some of the soft and hard skills you possess that made you realize you\u2019d be a great fit for this career choice. Perhaps you\u2019re well-organized and empathetic, or you love creative problem-solving and overcoming difficult challenges. Whatever your reasons for getting into UX design, be honest and authentic. Use this question to demonstrate your genuine interest in the field.<\/p>\n
Purpose of the question:<\/strong> The interviewer wants to see your passion for UX and if you\u2019re a cultural fit for the team<\/p>\n
Tip:<\/strong> Be authentic while demonstrating genuine interest<\/p>\n
Question 2: What\u2019s the difference between UI and UX design?<\/h2>\n
This is a question designed to establish that you know exactly what UX is and, crucially, what it is not. Start with a standard definition, such as: while user interface design (UI design) refers to the visual elements a user interacts with when using an app or a website, such as buttons and icons, user experience design (UX design) <\/a> refers to a user\u2019s entire experience with a product or service.<\/p>\n
A first-class candidate will elaborate further on the theme, highlighting that while UX design is concerned with the whole spectrum of a person\u2019s interaction with a product and how a user feels about it, UI design is just one of the disciplines that come under the umbrella term of \u2018UX\u2019 alongside other disciplines such as user research, information architecture<\/a>, and usability testing.<\/p>\n
Although you won’t be expected to be an expert in UI design, it\u2019s highly likely your potential employer will expect you to be able to work closely with UI designers, so see this as an opportunity to demonstrate not only your understanding of UI design and how it differs from UX <\/a>, but also how the two disciplines can and do work together.<\/p>\n
Purpose of the question: <\/strong> The interviewer wants to know you\u2019re clear on exactly what UX is (and isn\u2019t) and what would be expected of you in this role <\/p>\n
Tip: <\/strong> Give examples of how UI and UX designers work together to create solutions<\/p>\n
![](\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image3.png\")
<\/a><\/p>\nQuestion 3: What changes would you make to our product\/service to improve its UX?<\/h2>\n
When your interviewer presents you with this question, the chances are they\u2019re looking to see a) how much research you\u2019ve done into the company prior to your interview, and b) the value you will bring to the company if hired.<\/p>\n
While it can feel a little daunting discussing the brand\u2019s positives and negatives in front of company bosses and employees, it\u2019s important to see this question as an opportunity. Although it would not be wise to launch into a full-scale attack on the brand\u2019s UX, you can use this moment to talk about what you like about the company and its products, beginning with what\u2019s working really well.<\/p>\n
From this starting point, you can provide a few examples of things that, in your view, could be optimized for a better user experience. You might mention the UX of direct competitors, or bring in examples from previous companies you\u2019ve worked for. Once you\u2019ve highlighted areas for improvement, you should then explain the research and work processes you might implement to bring about the suggested changes, and the results you would hope to see from these improvements.<\/p>\n
Purpose of the question:<\/strong> The interviewer wants to see that you\u2019ve researched the company and its products<\/p>\n
Tip: <\/strong> Try to focus on what currently works well, and what, with your help and expertise, could work even better<\/p>\n
Question 4: What attracted you to the role\/company?<\/h2>\n
You\u2019ll come across this question in pretty much every job interview you ever have, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not worth preparing for. Similarly to the previous UX designer interview questions, undertaking significant research into the company will play a key role in how well you\u2019re able to answer this question. The interviewer not only wants to see what you\u2019ve learned about the company, its history, and its success stories; they also want you to elaborate on where you see yourself within the team and what contribution you might provide going forward.<\/p>\n
Try to be specific when you answer this question; a vague answer might make it appear as though you\u2019ve not read up on the company beforehand. If you\u2019re impressed by the current UX of the website, or you\u2019ve heard great things about the company culture, now\u2019s the time to mention it. Perhaps you\u2019re already a customer or fan of their product and would love the opportunity to be part of the team that creates it. Or maybe the brand\u2019s marketing has blown you away with its creativity and design.<\/p>\n
If it\u2019s a small startup, you might like to mention that you\u2019re excited to be joining something at the start of its journey where you can learn a lot, have your ideas heard, and get involved in multiple areas. If it\u2019s a large company, you might have been drawn to its impressive reputation, its impact, and the stability that comes with working for an established corporation.<\/p>\n
Purpose of the question:<\/strong> This question is about demonstrating your desire to work for the company and the research you\u2019ve done for the role<\/p>\n
Tip: <\/strong> Be as specific as possible: mention team leads you\u2019d be excited to work with, or campaigns you\u2019ve admired<\/p>\n
![\"UX](\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/inside1-13.webp\" "\\"UX")
<\/p>\nQuestion 5: Talk me through a project in your portfolio<\/h2>\n
A professional portfolio is an absolute necessity for every UX designer<\/a>, and it\u2019s highly likely your potential employer will expect to see yours during the interview. Although it can be challenging explaining a project to someone who was not involved in it, you can prepare for this in advance by practicing with friends or family as well as setting up a UX portfolio <\/a> to provide as much context as possible.<\/p>\n
Try to practice this question with both those familiar with UX design and those who know nothing about the field. Depending on the stage you\u2019re at in the interview process, your interviewer may not have any UX design expertise, in which case answering this question is an opportunity for them to assess your communication skills. If the interviewer is in the UX design team, they\u2019ll probably want to see you explain and defend your work processes as this gives them an idea of how you approach challenges and define success.<\/p>\n
If you don’t yet have a portfolio in place and would like to work on projects that will help you build one, think about enrolling in AND Academy\u2019s PG Diploma in UI UX Design course<\/a>, which will enable you to have an industry-ready portfolio and also take the benefits of a job guarantee. Look at the UX UI project <\/a> that Aromal Jose Baby completed during the duration of the course.<\/p>\n
Purpose of the question:<\/strong> This question is about demonstrating your excellent communication skills and explaining how you work<\/p>\n
Tip:<\/strong> Practice with UX professionals and non-UXers<\/p>\n
Question 6: Tell us about a challenge you faced at work and how you overcame it<\/h2>\n
Although this is a common interview question in fields including and beyond UX design, this is a great opportunity for you to discuss how you used your UX design skills<\/a> and process to solve a user challenge.<\/p>\n
To begin, walk the interviewer through a user problem you came across in a previous position. Perhaps users were dropping off when it came to the checkout page of the website, or warm leads weren\u2019t converting after opening a series of nurturing emails.<\/p>\n
Start with how you discovered the problem before outlining your problem-solving, research, and discovery techniques, such as user interviews, surveys, focus groups, card sorting, and usability testing. <\/p>\n
Try to be transparent about any additional challenges you faced while trying to solve the issue and any other discoveries you made in the process. You could also discuss your colleagues’ input and reactions to your ideas, and how different colleagues or even teams worked together to bring about the best result.<\/p>\n
Next, explain the solution you went with and its rate of success, highlighting any additional tweaks you needed to make once it was implemented. Finally, you can summarize your answer with what you learned from the whole process and the ways in which this particular challenge affected how you addressed future stumbling blocks and user issues. <\/p>\n
Purpose of the question:<\/strong> This question is designed to see how you handle difficult situations<\/p>\n
Tip: <\/strong> You can use this question to highlight a specific user problem you solved<\/p>\n
Question 7: What is your design process? Describe the design methods that you follow.<\/h2>\n
Although UX principles <\/a> are universal, every UX designer works slightly differently, often prioritizing their preferred UX methods and practices. This question is designed to give the interviewer an insight into your thought processes and preferences but, crucially, your answer should also demonstrate how you use your critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills to overcome challenges, innovate, and improve the user\u2019s experience.<\/p>\n
You can answer this question in general terms if you like, walking the interviewer through your typical design process. However, most design leads are aware that different approaches are needed for different design problems, and you\u2019re more likely to impress by talking about the specifics of a real (and successful) project you worked on, going into detail about your deep end-to-end design process and decision making, than oversimplifying your process with a general answer. Outline your range of research methods, your design process, the teamwork involved at each stage, and how you validated your decisions throughout. Consider supporting your discussion with your portfolio if you have it to hand.<\/p>\n
Purpose of the question: <\/strong> This question is designed to provide the interviewer with a window into your critical thinking, teamwork, and problem\u2013solving processes<\/p>\n
Tip:<\/strong> Avoid answering in general terms. Walk the interviewer through a specific project which shows your design process in action<\/p>\n
Question 8: How do you conduct user research?<\/h2>\n
User research is an integral part of the UX design process and it\u2019s how most UX designers validate and support their design decisions for a new product, feature, or website design. The interviewer is keen to know your familiarity with different types of research methods and your preferences for one type over another depending on the project at hand.<\/p>\n
You can answer this question by discussing a previous project and the research method that worked best in that particular situation, or you can discuss how different methods complement different types of projects. You might want to give a short rundown of the pros and cons of each method and how you use that to decide which method to use in any given situation.<\/p>\n
Purpose of the question:<\/strong> This question is designed to give you an opportunity to demonstrate your UX knowledge but also show your preferred work methods<\/p>\n
Tip:<\/strong> Show the interviewer that despite certain preferences, you\u2019re aware of the limitations as well as the benefits of certain research techniques<\/p>\n
![\"Designers](\"https:\/\/www.andacademy.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/inside2-12.webp\" "\\"Designers")
<\/p>\nQuestion 9: Tell us about a successful collaboration you\u2019ve been a part of<\/h2>\n
The UX design process is almost always a collaborative one. You\u2019ll typically work with other types of designers such as UI and graphic designers<\/a>, in addition to researchers, end users, developers, product managers, and project managers to bring about the best experiences for a brand\u2019s target user.<\/p>\n
With collaboration playing such an integral role in the design process, this question is designed to give the interviewer an idea of how well you work with others. They\u2019ll want to know that, should you come to work for the company, you\u2019ll be receptive to the ideas and experiences of other team members, and that you\u2019ll be able to build a relationship of collaboration and trust within your team.<\/p>\n
To answer this question, provide an example of a project you worked on that involved stakeholders from varying departments or fields. Demonstrate how you dealt with conflicting opinions and incorporated different ideas into the final outcome, and consider discussing how you managed difficult team members or resolved challenging situations that occurred over the course of the design process.<\/p>\n
When answering this question, it\u2019s important to specify what role you played in the team. Were you leading the team or were you being managed by someone more senior? If the role you\u2019re applying for is a leadership role but you\u2019ve not yet held such a senior position, be clear about some of the leadership traits you demonstrated in the past and how, thanks to this experience, you feel ready to take on more responsibility going forward.<\/p>\n
Purpose of the question: <\/strong>To find out how well you work with others <\/p>\n
Tip: <\/strong> Demonstrate how you resolved a conflict of opinions<\/p>\n
Question 10: What inspires you professionally?<\/h2>\n
If this question comes up in your UX design interview, its goal is likely to be to uncover how passionate you are about your chosen career and how committed you are to continued learning and growth. An interviewer is looking for a long-term commitment from their UX designer and will be hoping to hire someone who is heavily invested in evolving with the industry.<\/p>\n
While this question is a great opportunity to talk about your UX design heroes\u2013the brands and teams who create work that inspires your own practices\u2013it\u2019s also a chance for you to discuss current industry and user trends. In doing so, you\u2019ll demonstrate your commitment to staying ahead of what\u2019s popular with users of different demographics. You might want to mention a course you\u2019ve taken recently to keep your skills up to date or a webinar you attended that delved into new theories in Design Thinking<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Consider:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Referencing a design magazine you subscribe to and a recent article that inspired you<\/li>\n
- Mentioning a blog you follow religiously for trends in user behavior and the latest digital tools<\/li>\n
- Hailing the work of a design influencer who helped shape a recent project you worked on<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Purpose of the question:<\/strong> This question is designed for the interviewer to get a sense of your commitment to and investment in this career<\/p>\n
Tip:<\/strong> Mention your top tips for the next biggest trends in UX design<\/p>\n
Question 11: Where do you see yourself on the UX designer spectrum? Eg., researcher, UX designer, information architect, UX strategist, visual designer\u2026<\/h2>\n
As you\u2019re probably already aware, there\u2019s a whole host of different positions available in the field of UX right now, and the meaning behind each job title can vary widely from company to company <\/a>. At a startup, for example, a UX designer might be expected to perform the whole UX design process <\/a> alone, from identifying user challenges to performing research to conducting tests, to implementing a solution. In a large corporation, on the other hand, a whole team of UX professionals\u2013strategists, researchers, information architects, usability<\/a> testers\u2013would conduct each part of the process in accordance with their particular skill set and experience.<\/p>\n
When heading into your interview, be clear in your mind about the role you\u2019re applying for and do some research into the UX resources a company of that size is likely to have. You should be applying for a role that suits your skill set and experience, and you\u2019ll want to be clear when answering this question about where exactly you sit on the UX designer spectrum. If you\u2019re applying for a role that doesn\u2019t quite match your experience, be transparent; explain that although your previous roles have been largely focused on one area, you\u2019d like to branch out into another. You can then describe the transferable UX skills you\u2019ve acquired that would enable you to do that.<\/p>\n
Purpose of the question:<\/strong> They want to know where your UX experience lies<\/p>\n
Tip: <\/strong> Research the company beforehand to get an idea of the size of the team and its resources<\/p>\n
Question 12: Tell us about a project which didn\u2019t go to plan and how you rectified it<\/h2>\n
The interviewer is hoping to hear about your communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills when asking this question. Although it might be tempting to fabricate a story, it\u2019s important to be honest.<\/p>\n
Describe a project which was failing to meet expectations, bearing the following points in mind:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Focus on what you learned from the experience<\/li>\n
- Tell the interviewer what you would do differently next time to avoid it happening again<\/li>\n
- Use this as an opportunity to demonstrate how you personally define success, and how the project did or did not meet that definition<\/li>\n
- Explain how the process didn\u2019t work for that particular project and the tweaks it would need to work better<\/li>\n
- Concentrate on the skills you used to turn the project around, such as communication and collaboration<\/li>\n
- Frame the situation as an obstacle rather than a problem, before describing how you overcame that obstacle<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Purpose of the question:<\/strong> The interviewer wants to know about your creative problem-solving skills<\/p>\n
Tip: Highlight your key takeaways from the challenge <\/strong><\/p>\n
Question 13: What is your approach to accessibility in design?<\/h2>\n
Digital products which are accessible to every one make a huge impact on a brand\u2019s success. For this reason, your interviewer is looking to see how experienced you are at designing for those with accessibility issues, and that you ensure accessibility is prioritized in your UX design process.<\/p>\n
To answer this question, you might mention that you follow the World Wide Web Consortium\u2019s \u2018Web Content Accessibility Guidelines\u2019, or discuss the regularity with which you have performed accessibility analyses on your previous projects. Highlight your learnings and biggest takeaways from these analyses and how what you learned will lead you to improve upon your process for the betterment of future designs.<\/p>\n
Another important element in accessibility<\/a> is testing. Testing takes on a more significant role in this context as a designer could easily not recognize elements of their design that a disabled person might be hindered or affected by. Discuss how you have approached testing with accessibility in mind in the past, and mention the innovative or creative measures you took to enable everybody access to a product or feature.<\/p>\n
Examples of ways designs can be made more accessible include:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Voiceover commands for the navigation of websites<\/li>\n
- Adding subtitles or captions to videos<\/li>\n
- Enabling large print text on a webpage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Purpose of the question:<\/strong> They want to know that accessibility and inclusivity are priorities to you<\/p>\n
Tip:<\/strong> Provide examples of creative ways you have improved accessibility and inclusivity<\/p>\n
