💱Can you guess what “paint by numbers” means?
✔️A lot of people in the company thought hiring a UI/UX designer was a complete waste of time and money. “Paint by numbers” is all anyone thought designers could do
It means “showing no original thought or creativity” (пер. стереотипный, шаблонный)

Одна из задач UX-дизайнера- «checking biases”
Bias- 1️⃣a feeling or opinion that is preconceived or unreasoned (пер.предвзятость)
2️⃣ a systematic distortion of a statistic as a result of sampling procedure
(пер.погрешность)
Which biases to check:
✔️Confirmation bias. This can happen when we expect a certain outcome/reaction to the design. We may filter our observations to confirm our hypothesis
✔️Response bias. Our tendency to provide inaccurate , or even false, answers to self-report questions, such as those asked on surveys or interviews
А здесь есть UI/UX дизайнеры? А то может вот это ⏫зря

🤷🏻Когда наши студенты презентуют свои дизайн-решения заказчику, возникает вопрос «С чего начать?»
You should start with setting the context (tell your customer what in this design for them, going beyond artwork and into the realm of market application and connecting with the user)
✔️ As a user, when I land on this page, I have three possible goals
✔️Our design helps...
Or tell a story
✔️... we’ve noticed Alex often forgets to take his pills. We’ve also noticed Alex has his phone with him all the time. So we are using his phone as a reminder tool...

Уж очень у нас разные взгляды на это
🤯Если вы не можете прийти к одному решению с другим человеком, попробуйте узнать больше о том, как он думает:
📌Walk me through... (e.g. how you see the implementation of this solution)
📌Help me understand...
📌Tell me why this doesn’t fit/work for you
📌What problem are we trying to solve? (90% of the time we realize we aren’t on the same page because we skipped problem identification process and set a meeting to find a solution to a problem that we had yet to define)

И снова pitch
You can’t know what exact questions they’ll ask you during the interview. Good news, there is one that you’ll be definitely asked, and that is ‘tell me about yourself’:
📌Your job title
📌Years in IT and industries you’ve worked in.
📌Your greatest accomplishments and how they benefited the company (-ies) you worked with
📌Your primary focus - what you’re the best at and what tech stack you’d like to continue to grow and develop in.
📌Why you want to work this them.
Writing the script would structure your thoughts, and you’ll deliver your main points in a best way😉

Наша преподавательница Марина прошла путь от QA до Delivery manager.
Провели с ней 8-минутное интервью на английском о том, как она обучалась для каждой позиции, действительно ли
IT-специалистам так уж необходим английский, как тренировать soft skills и почему все носятся с lifelong learning. 😉

Сегодня survival phrases for interviews:
📌Когда вы отвечаете на ситуационный или технический вопрос, попробуйте сначала выиграть время на “подумать” и заодно прояснить непонятные моменты:
So I'm halfway through the task when I understand that I'm dealing with contradicting requirements… In this case I would...
📌Если вы отвечаете на теоретический вопрос, обязательно дайте пример, что вы имеете в виду:
Let me give you an example of what I mean…
📌Если же ваш ответ будет включать несколько аспектов, предупредите об этом (чтобы вас не прервали):
I think there are two important aspects to this question
📌Совсем не поняли вопрос интервьюера:
Вместо “Can you repeat?" используйте “Can you put it differently?"
📌И после того, как вы закончили отвечать, уточните у интервьюера, достаточно ли точно вы ответили на вопрос :
Does it answer your question?
Для вас сейчас актуальна подготовка к интервью. Продолжаем?
