Great video Wesley! Thanks for putting this out there. I'm a junior designer with no ux work experience yet, but I just had a screening interview with a recruiter for a company I've interned for before and it went really well! I'm hopeful I'll move on to the next round (apparently there's 3 more interviews) so this is extremely helpful in preparing me with what to expect. Thanks again!

Wonderful content, thank you for sharing. Just want to say, whiteboard and design challenges are a pox on the industry, and the day can’t come soon enough when they’re phased out entirely. Having gone through some in the past, I will never, ever continue an interview process which requires them.

Hi Joo Yoon, thanks for watching! You have a strong, unique perspective thinking whiteboard design challenges are a "pox in the industry." I'd love to hear more as to why you think that... In my opinion, I think it's a crucial process in the UX design interview. It helps to understand your design process, how you tackle problems/challenges, your soft skills, and your creative thinking. Would love to hear more on your specific thoughts and why we should get rid of them...🤔

@@WesleyHongUX Having a designer do a whiteboard challenge is akin to having a music composer do a sight reading exercise. It's a very small, narrow skill that is not necessarily essential to doing to real work of UX. Also, the way that whiteboard challenges are set up are completely artificial and divorce the process away from the things which are really important for doing good UX work, such as empathy & understanding user needs, the iterative feedback process, working with stakeholders (including product and dev), etc. Additionally, there are excellent designers who do amazing work but who, for whatever reason, don't do well in that sort of real time kind of pressured environment. That plus how artificial it all is makes me question very much how useful whiteboard challenges are. Design challenges are similar, though somewhat different. With design challenges, I've often found that teams have a specific sort of response that they are looking for, and if the response isn't in the same vein, the candidate is passed over. The artificiality of the challenge contributes to this. As the saying goes, if all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. So if your challenge is a design challenge, and you're expecting a UX solution, then the acceptable solutions are UX solutions. But in the real world, things are very, very different. What might seem to be a UX problem might actually be a marketing / copywriting problem, etc. For example, once I was asked to do a challenge of how to make a certain networking site more appealing to a younger generation. To me, it was clearly a marketing / positioning issue, but alas ... Add to that, the practice of companies having candidates propose solutions to actual business challenges ... that either needs to go, or the companies need to pay the candidates for doing real work. In any case, all in all, in my opinion, you can gather all of the requisite insight into a candidate's abilities through a good portfolio review. If you can't do that ... in my opinion ... you have no business hiring designers. That's my two cents. Comes from experience on both the interviewee and interviewer sides. But that all said -- your content is great, and your tips are solid. I realize that the reality is that orgs do use whiteboard and design challenges to vet candidates, so you've got to prep people for the reality of what they'll encounter. So great job there!

@@jooyoonchung3593 First of all, thank you for sharing your perspective in detail! It was interesting and different from the other perspectives I've heard, so I appreciate your detailed response! and thanks again for the love and support for my video! - It's interesting to see you use the example of music composer and sight reading, as that's something I would consider as a hard skill test, if you will. For me, I've always viewed whiteboard challenges being a full soft skill test. What kind of designer are you, when you are stripped of your hard skills, Figma, Miro...and just given the basic necessity to solve a problem? Hence where the soft skills are suppose to come into play, where I believe you are able exhibit those skills of empathy and understanding the user needs clearly in a whiteboard challenge. And I've been able to do that easily, when I use the people in the room to roleplay. I've had them turn into stakeholders, users, engineers, PMs, so they can share each specific perspective, which gives me the chance to empathize and hear both user/business needs, in order to create the right solution. If the whiteboard challenge isn't implemented in a design interview to show your problem solving, communication, empathy skills....then what would be the alternative choice? Or is it just the portfolio walkthrough? - Regarding design challenges, even if you're able to provide any good insights towards the actual business, I find it highly unlikely they would actually use or trust your research and findings anyways. And in my example, they've always used a challenge that the company has either already solved, or its a current work-in-progress, so the input you bring to the table probably won't be included, mid-project. They already have a designer on that team, challenge, problem, so I would assume they would trust them over a design candidate. A design challenge you may have worked on for a couple of days or a week isn't really enough time to actually figure out the right solutions...compared to the designers who are actually working for the company and spending at least a year on a project/problem/solution before it launches as an MVP product. Them asking you how to make a networking site more appealing, just sounds like a ux research design challenge, where I don't see a problem in a company looking to see what gameplan you create and what you do with the research and findings you find.

Hi! Trying to understand what you're asking.... Regardless, the ux interview process doesn't change for you, if you're a bootcamp graduate, or self-taught. Bare minimum, you'd need a resume, portfolio, and at least a case studies or 2, before you even start applying. Hope this helps!
