1
Now this might sound counter-intuitive, but asking questions throughout a job interview will actually increase the chances of you landing a job.
2
Did not see that coming.
3
Based on what Indeed.com has stated, they've said it is highly recommended you ask your interviewer relevant and thoughtful questions.
4
Consider preparing a list of 5 to 10 questions to ask ahead of time.
5
So don't make the mistake of what a lot of designers make
6
when going through a job interview process and not asking the critical
7
and crucial questions that not only helps you land the job, but also helps you better understand what's happening behind and inside the business.
8
Y'all ready for this?
9
So I've gone ahead and planned out 10 questions for you, but I've broken them into two categories.
10
So the first three questions are pre-interview questions.
11
These are questions that you should always be asking prior to starting
12
or commencing a job interview because you want to make sure
13
that you build leverage and that you actually align and perfectly fit within the company.
14
Then I have provided seven post-interview questions.
15
These questions can be asked throughout the interview process or right at the end when they ask you, do you have any questions for them?
16
So we'll start off with the first three pre-interview questions.
17
So the first three questions would be, why is the company looking to hire a junior, mid or senior UX or UI designer, depending on your seniority.
18
Now, the reason why you want to understand the why behind they are hiring is
19
because if you are specialized in design systems, but they're hiring a UX designer to do user research,
20
then you're obviously not the perfect fit or the right fit for them.
21
You want to make sure that you are aligned to what the company needs.
22
Second question, what are the characteristics of someone who would succeed in this role?
23
You want to understand who and what type of person will fit into this role and just try to see, do you align with that?
24
These are the little things that you need to keep an eye out for
25
and you want to make sure you validate early on because it helps you build leverage throughout the job interview.
26
And then the last pre-interview question, you want to make sure you're asking how urgent are they looking to hire?
27
If you can make a quick assessment and understand you are sort of the right fit, you've got the right skills, you fit into their why
28
and they are looking to hire urgently pretty much right now in the next few weeks
29
because they need someone to come in right away.
30
If you believe and you strongly feel compelled that you fit into this category, then you have leverage in this engagement.
31
That potentially might be, you can increase the rate or the expected salary.
32
I just pile up my money.
33
Because they need someone now.
34
They're willing to pay a little bit more.
35
So when you understand the why, the what, and then the how urgent they are, you can start to move forward with a little bit more leverage.
36
Now we can move on to the post-interview questions.
37
These are seven questions that you can ask throughout the interview process or at the end of the interview process.
38
And remember, these questions are not just to help you better understand the business, it also positions yourself in their eyes and in their perspective
39
that you are genuinely passionate about wanting to work at this organization.
40
They want people to be asking questions.
41
They want people to be challenging them as well.
42
They wanna see and feel and hear you actually engaging them
43
because these actions and these cues and these signals show that you are interested.
44
So what does a designer's day-to-day schedule look like?
45
You want to ask this question because you want to make sure that they have a fairly decent process.
46
You don't want to go into a company where it's absolutely chaotic.
47
Second question, what other teams or departments does the team work closely with?
48
So let's say, for example, you are heavily interested or passionate about growth design.
49
You want to be A-B testing things.
50
You want to be tracking your designs.
51
You want to be measuring the success of them.
52
You want to see if it's hitting the objective.
53
So you want to see, are you going to be working with the data science team?
54
Right?
55
If you're passionate about design systems, you want to know, am I going to be working with the front-end developers?
56
You want to make sure you have a good idea about
57
who you're going to be working with to make sure it aligns with what you want to be working on.
58
Third question, could you share a recent project that you overlooked or worked on and how did it go?
59
This is a question that a lot of designers
60
or a lot of people in general don't ask and they feel a little bit intimidated by it.
61
You should definitely ask this because in an interview, it's not them just interviewing you.
62
It's a two-way street.
63
You are trying to interview them as well.
64
Your ultimate goal is to not go into a company where it is absolute chaos.
65
You want to understand, do they have a thought-through process?
66
Do things run smoothly?
67
If they don't run smoothly, what is the risk mitigation process?
68
You want to understand how does an actual project start and how does it end?
69
And you want to hear it from their own words.
70
Now the fourth question is how long does it actually take for a feature
71
or product that you work on take to release to the market?
72
Because everyone has their own preferences.
73
Some people like to be releasing new short ideas and new design sprints every two weeks.
74
But some designers like to work on a project for three months
75
or four months and like large scale projects
76
that take a lot of time but a lot of effort and you get to do everything to perfection.
77
Now, obviously, I have my own preferences
78
and I like to be shipping new features
79
and new updates every like two weeks or every four weeks because I like to see the performance and the results.
80
But you definitely want to know how long it does actually take them.
81
Now, the fifth question is, what does the career path look like for someone in this role?
82
Now, obviously, everyone has their own perspectives, their own preferences and their own objectives and goals.
83
But you want to understand, does this organization provide you that career path to what you want to attain, what you want to achieve?
84
Now, even if you don't understand or don't know what you want to achieve just yet, you haven't really thought about it,
85
do they provide the support and the mentorship to help guide you to discovering what you want to learn, right?
86
So you want to make sure, does this organization provide those opportunities?
87
Now, the sixth question is, what is the process for decision-making within the team?
88
This is a critical question because a lot of organizations, they paint themselves as the best organization and everyone does this, but then you want to understand how do decisions,
89
how are they actually made within the organization?
90
What if there is butting heads?
91
What if there is a design decision that needs to be made?
92
Who makes the final call?
93
Is it the CEO?
94
Is it the product team?
95
Is it the designer?
96
Is it the lead designer?
97
You want to make sure you understand what is that process.
98
You don't want to go into a toxic environment where designers are absolutely crushed
99
because design is not respected and the organization time
100
and time after again just crush designers and say this is how we're going to be doing it.
101
So you want to make sure there is some sort of process that facilitates decision making.
102
No organization is ever going to be perfect, but you want to make sure at least they have a process to respect all the different departments.
103
Now, the last question that I would definitely be asking is how would my performance be measured in this role?
104
Now, obviously we are all in the workplace to progress and to grow and obviously to move into a more senior position.
105
You want to understand how are they going to be measuring your performance?
106
Is it KPIs?
107
Is it OKRs?
108
Is it time in the office? Who knows?
109
Every organization really measures success differently and you need to understand how they're measuring it
110
so you can optimize your performance to that.
111
But this also gives you the opportunity to think about, is this the company that I want to be working for
112
because they value performance a little bit different to how I value performance?
113
So hopefully these questions, shed a little bit of light on the things
114
that I would be asking if I was going through a job interview.
115
And I hope everyone that's watching this, that's going through the job interview process will land that role.
116
All right, guys, I will see you in another video very soon.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
