Pass your UX interviews

Who is this guide for?

For UX designers who are getting interviews but not offers. You land the screen, maybe reach round two or three, then it goes quiet and you're not sure why. Any level, any background. If you're getting in the room and stalling out, this is for you.

Who created this guide?

I'm Mimi, a Senior Product Designer with 8 years of experience, writing from inside the 2026 job search, not from 2018. I keep advancing through interview loops in a brutal market. This is the exact system I use to do it.

What's inside?

Pass the Interview is a step-by-step system for getting through the rounds:

• The Capture, Decode, Adapt loop you run after every interview
• A signal decoder that turns what they say into what the role actually wants
• The exact AI prompts I use to decode a round and pick my stories
• A per-round playbook: what to ask, listen for, and capture at every stage
• Fill-in templates: capture sheet, decoder, and story bank

This is not a course. No videos, no modules.

Is this guide for people who aren't getting interviews yet?

• Not yet. This assumes you're already landing interviews.
• This is for all levels of UX Designers
