Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Portfolio Shortlist
Experience: Portfolios on Behance were examined before shortlisting for Interview round
Tips: Build a strong portfolio of yours. Present it both visually well and also content rich. The art of balancing on both of them is the secret of crafting the best experience of reviewers.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: This was the first round of the interview(Skype) with a Senior UX designer of Microsoft. The video was turned off from his the side but still mine is ON. We only had AUDIO interview on skype. It was all about my projects presented on portfolio. And the Interview lasted for 40mins.
Tips: Even your expressions, actions & behavior matters in such interviews.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: It was my 2nd interview with Principle Design manager at Microsoft. This too was on skype. Both AUDIO &VIDEO. Right at the start itself he mentioned that, "You have 40mins, first 35 mins will be for you totally and last 5mins will be a Q&A on doubts you have about the company" This lasted for 45mins finally. More examining than cross questioning.
Tips: Improve your communication skills, and the power of pitching your ideas or projects, etc.
