I came across a question today, “If you were on a UI UX hiring panel, what would be the important things in the CV/Resume you would look for”? Firstly this question is pre supposing that everyone who applies for a UI UX job is doing so for an agency. There is no standard answer for this. 🔷 A really limited interviewer would look for 1-2 pixel difference in wireframe work. I’d say then the candidate should reject this company. This is a death trap and a career wormhole. 🔷 Design isn’t done in isolation. If they are representing their work well not only in a portfolio but in a blog such as on Medium, have experimented with Visual Design and/or show interest in other fields like motion design - they are good hire. It means they can quickly learn new tools and adapt themselves to changes. 🔷 I’d look for a few behavioural traits like ‘seniority complex’ . A bad fish generally spoils the pond. I’ve seen UX architects bring the mind rot to entire agencies, setting in motion disastrous change of events. If the behaviour sets ‘my solution is the only right solution’ vibe into motion - they are a really bad hire. Let’s not even get the chain of events that follows post this. A UI UX Designer should be friendly, inspire to follow not order to follow. De-militarise the playing field for other designers. #badhiring #uiux
