💥How to master your way around the UX take-home assignment 💻Day Before Preparation is everything. Gather your go-to design resources—icon libraries, design systems, etc.—and research the company’s website to understand its brand identity. Knowing their style and values will give you a head start. ⏰During the Interview: - Understand the Prompt: Don’t rush into solutions. Read the prompt carefully, multiple times if needed, to ensure a solid grasp before brainstorming any designs. - Prioritize Key Features: Focus on the product’s most impactful features instead of spreading yourself thin trying to cover everything. - Repurpose Previous Work: If applicable, reuse elements from past projects. It saves time and demonstrates consistency in your design approach. - Manage Your Time: Set time limits for each task and stick to them. Timing yourself ensures you stay on track and avoid getting lost in unnecessary details. - Present Your Thought Process: Explain why you made specific design choices. Employers want to see your reasoning, not just the final product. - Keep It Simple: Clean, functional designs often stand out more than overcomplicated ones. Prioritize clarity and usability for the best impression. 🙌Join us for an exclusive live mock interview, where you'll watch a fellow job seeker navigate tough questions from an expert interviewer.  Eventbrite link: Admission starts at just $5 with code IMU_D10 for $10 off. https://lnkd.in/g2zGvuWF #AI #UXJobs #UXJobSeeker #interview #portfolio
