As part of our class exercise to enhance interview skills, we engaged in mock interviews using common UX interview questions. This experience was useful for several reasons:
One question that particularly stood out was "Tell me about yourself." Despite its simplicity, I found it challenging to strike the right balance between personal and professional information. This made me realise the importance of preparing concise, relevant responses that showcase both my personality and professional capabilities.
Moving forward, I plan to dedicate time to crafting thoughtful responses to common interview questions, ensuring I can articulate my experiences and skills effectively in future interviews.
After the exercise, I read an insightful article about mastering UX interview questions. A key takeaway was the importance of viewing interviews as a two-way process. While the company evaluates you, it's equally crucial to assess whether the company aligns with your values and career goals. This approach ensures you don't just accept any offer, but find a role where you can truly thrive and contribute meaningfully.

After the practice interview, I know my strengths and weaknesses when it comes to interview questions, and will continue to work on fixing my weaknesses in time for the interview process.
