What interview questions should you ask the user (ux) developer / designer

Question

We hire a UX consultant, hold a large-scale session with the company, love their work, think the candidates are fine, and now you want to conduct a more concentrated interview with a specific UX consultant who will be integrated into the scrum team.

What questions should be asked to cut out any dead candidates.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Ask Tog has a good quiz . I also ask you to comment on the principles of gestalt , but probably because I have a master's degree in HCI (since it can be a little academic). However, the principles of gestalt are very important, especially for things like design forms.

I think you could also ask them what their favorite UX design book is if they cannot list everything that would be very strange to me.

Answer 2

Personal Experience A good UX practitioner should be interested in the things that they personally use. I would like to ask them what they use personally - the obvious technological elements, such as the telephone and websites, as well as the less obvious things, such as kitchen appliances and vending machines. If the UX candidate cannot tell me what they observed that day (for example, a car or public transport that they used to get an interview), this is a good way to drop dead weight right there.

Practical problems . As with programming, the best way to evaluate someone is to give them a real problem that you are facing (or are facing) and see how they deal with it. Their thought processes are more important than the answer.

Answer 3

I am a UI designer / designer and as soon as I was interviewed by Verizon for the position of UX Designer. By the way, it was a telephone interview. I’ve never worked as a UX designer before. The person who interviewed me asked me about my past experiences, skill sets and asked if he had participated as a UX designer before. As for the technical question, he really sent me a document in which there was a brief information (part of the application), and then a small interface (it was like a table with some graphical information and based on this information, people working in the call center will answer the request user). I was asked to carefully study this table, and then I was given 24-hour time to propose a changed table / design, and I was asked to explain why I propose these changes. Just looking at a one-page document, I myself did not understand this problem and did not know what to offer. I spent 23 hours just looking at the problem, and at the 24th hour I made an offer and sent them my answer. But it didn’t work ..... I never heard from Verizon.

As a user interface developer, I have worked with a lot of UX Designer, and all I know about UX design is that you have to understand the problem very well. You need to look for all possible solutions and use the one that best suits the needs of usesr. And then you need to know how to create wireframes.

Answer 5

Ask them how they will develop a user interface for any system. Tell them to develop a solution for a domain that you are well aware of (for example, one of your recent projects) so that you can assume the role of user in an interview. Then, the UX consultant will need to dig up the requirements you need, find out what the problem is that you need to solve, and then develop and test the solution.

Or, if you want to make it easier / faster, use a domain that everyone knows, so that he does not need to dig requirements from you. For example, develop a system to find out which of the nearby restaurants you would like to have dinner. After an hour you should understand what a consultant is.

Answer 6

Give them some screenshots * of sample pages from several sites, some of which you consider good, some bad and to one degree or another. Ask them to indicate good and bad traits in each (and there is something good and bad on every site) and explain their thinking. If they don’t find something obvious, offer them a neutral “what about X”? and see how they analyze it.

* finding them is not difficult, but maybe a little time. Better yet, if you can give them access to the actual browser so that you can navigate to live elements.

Answer 7

UX's work consists of two parts: research and design. You need to clearly indicate what you want to pay the most attention to: someone who can build massive taxonomies and build wireframes in a dream, against someone who has hundreds of hours of work in a usability laboratory. (You can find people who have both areas of knowledge, but people often lean in the same direction).

Beware of UX consultants who have not previously been integrated into the wrestling team. They will need some bedding on time. If they are used to work on the agency side, and not on the client side, they will be used to carry out short-term research projects and subsequent care. This type of “shoot-out” is different from the lengthy viewing that you must perform when working on the client side.
