You make a great point about the time and energy companies ask candidates to invest. In my recent job search, some companies not only asked for exercises but also multiple types of presentations, often in person. Here’s some perspective: none of those companies ended up making a good offer. One even took me through eight interviews and three different presentation styles, only to pass in the end. Think about that for a moment. Why does this happen? As Meghan Logan aptly notes, it’s because they don’t know how to identify and interview designers. Consider what it would be like working somewhere like that. If you can afford to, steer clear of companies that operate this way. And when it happens, be ready to just say “no” and move on to the next opportunity.

This article resonated with me and offers some sage advice about the use of storytelling and a “business lens” to craft more compelling presentations. #ProductDesign #Storytelling #UserResearch #BusinessObjectives

Every objection to #UXResearch has an answer, and usually one backed by data, experience, and expertise. All of which are unhelpful if your goal is to actually #ConvinceStakeholders that #UXResearch is a #worthwhile #investment. Instead, you need to #WorkOnTheRelationship. So Your Stakeholders Don't See the Value of UX Research ▸ https://lttr.ai/ABEfO

✨ It's not about the artifact, it's about the insight. ✨ Heidi Trost shares her experience with personas that made an impact. 📝 Instead of complex deliverables, she focused on capturing core insights in a few simple phrases in an infographic. These insights tied behaviors to business goals – and that’s what resonated. 📊 It wasn’t about how it looked, but how well it communicated across the team. 🌟 #UXResearch #BusinessGoals #EffectiveCommunication

It’s easy to get caught up in functional ratios and its often a losing battle stuck in idealisms. With that said there’s a real business risk when design and supporting teams aren’t invested in. This video does a great job explaining how efficacy and efficiency across product and development teams drop when this happens.
