UX Design Interview Field Guide

Practical guide from a hiring manager on how to land the job you want

Hi, my name is Stuart Kim. I'm a Product Design Lead, Mentor @DesignLab, Ex-Design Manager, and a General Assembly alum. After years on both sides of the interview "table", I've pulled the curtains on the hiring process for job seekers through this field guide.

This field guide is a curated compilation of the most effective hiring materials I’ve crafted and utilized over years of hiring candidates, enriched with insights from innumerable mentoring sessions, and augmented by collective wisdom from a diverse network of industry-leading designers. It’s a distilled essence of expertise, designed to give job seekers an unparalleled edge in the competitive design job market.

What you'll find inside:

✔ Comprehensive Step-by-Step Guide: A detailed walkthrough covering the entire interview journey, from the initial pre-screening to the complexities of design challenges, culminating in the critical reference check phase.

✔ Pro Tips: Proven strategies meticulously crafted to consistently win over hiring panels.

✔ Mentor’s Margin Notes: Invaluable wisdom and insights from a hiring manager's perspective, designed to help you stand out from the competition.

✔ Battle-Tested Templates and Questions: Expertly curated structures, formats, and content, including practical how-to examples, to guide your preparation.

✔ Interview Chronicles: Lessons from my personal journey and distilled anecdotes from countless mentoring sessions, aimed to inspire and empower you in your career path.

My mentees have said this content has helped them:

💡 Streamline their interview preparation.

💡 Enhance their confidence throughout the interviews.

💡 Adapt readily to shifts in questions, formats, and procedures.

💡 Increase their likelihood of receiving an offer.

Since these insights have had immense value to my small group of mentees, I'm eager to share these behind-the-scenes perspectives more widely!

This field guide is not just a one-time resource. It comes with free updates for life, evolving with new insights and your valuable feedback from you. As I learn and adapt, so does the guidebook, ensuring it remains a current and dynamic resource for you.
