Interview Preparation Questions

Who is this interview guide for?

• You're interviewing for UX Design roles
• You want insight into real questions that have been asked
• You aren't ready for questions that could be asked in portfolio presentations or app critiques
• You need a starting point to help you kickstart your interview preparation

Who created this guide?
These questions have been curated by a Senior Product / UX Designer who has interviewed for over 18 UX roles and has interviewed UX design interns and Junior designers. This detailed guide contains the most asked questions along with every question that has been asked. 

Please note, this guide only contains questions, NOT the answers.

What does the guide include?
This 80+ question guide includes culture and scenario-based questions from:

• Recruiters
• Hiring Managers
• Design team
• Engineering
• Product Management
• Portfolio Presentation
• App Critique
• Senior Design role-specific question

Here are a few sample questions from the portfolio presentation section to give you an idea of what this guide entails:

• How was it decided that this was a project you would be working on?
• What if you were told that the solution you proposed wasn’t feasible by either Product or Engineering?
• What would you have done if you didn’t have the option to speak with users for this project?
• What type of UX principles were used when making decisions in this project?

What are the instructions?

• After downloading, start filling out the answers right inside the document
• I do not recommend memorizing answers word for word as it may be distracting during the interview, use this more as a preparation guide

Is this guide for UX beginners?
Yes, the guide contains questions that were asked while interviewing for UX internships and Junior design roles. However, they are mixed in with questions asked for mid-level roles as well as those would still be helpful to anticipate. There is also a separate Senior design section.
