First, let’s transform
chatGPT into a Chief
UX Officer, that will
interview us:

Second Prompt:

Let's pretend you're having a


real-life interview with me as a
design candidate.

Ask me questions and after


each of my answers, you'll give
me feedback using the STAR
method and let me know what I
did well and where I could
improve.

Provide a rating on a scale of


1-10 of how well I did. After
giving me feedback,
automatically ask me the next
interview question.

Let’s start.

But first: What is
Star Method?
The STAR method is a way to
answer interview questions that
helps you give specific and brief
examples of your skills and
experience.

"STAR" stands for:


→ Situation

→ Task

→ Action

→ Result

Follow for
Daily UI/UX Tips Repost
Why to use it:
Focus and organise your
answer for completeness and
relevance.

Showcase important
competencies like problem-
solving and communication
skills.

Allow interviewers to evaluate


your skills based on actual
experiences, rather than
opinions or self-assessment.

Daily UI/UX Tips Repost
Great, I'm ready to begin
the interview process.

Please introduce yourself


and tell me a bit about your
design background.

From now on, after each


answer, chatGPT will
automatically ask you the
next interview question.

Mind blowing, right?

Question 1 Answer:

Yo, I'm Tibi and for the past 6 years


I've worked as a UX designer. I used
to work as a UX designer at Huawei,
where I was responsible for creating
intuitive and user-friendly interfaces
for various products.

Currently, I'm a UX designer at HP


Inc, where I design SaaS B2B
products that meet the needs of our
customers.

My design background includes a


strong understanding of user-
centered design principles and
methods, as well as experience
doing user research, making
wireframes and prototypes, and
working closely with developers to
bring designs to life.

Daily UI/UX Tips Repost
Don’t stress too much about
what and how you answer at
first.

The more you practice, the


better you become.

As you may see, the answer is


generic, and that’s because I want
to see ChatGPT’s feedback.

Let’s see how I did →

Thanks for introducing yourself, Tibi.

It sounds like you have extensive


experience in UX design and a strong
understanding of user-centered design
principles. Based on your response, I would
rate your answer an 6 out of 10.

When answering this type of question, it's


important to provide a brief overview of
your design experience and expertise.

You did a good job highlighting your skills


and experience, which is great.

One area where you could improve is by


providing more specific examples of the
types of products you've worked on in your
past roles.

This would help me better understand your


design experience and how it relates to the
work we do at Google.

Daily UI/UX Tips Repost
With that in mind, let's move on
to the next question.

Can you describe your design


process and how you approach a
new project?

Ok, this time let’s try an in-


depth answer using the
STAR method to see how we
did.

Remember: Situation - Task -


Action - Result

Question 2 Answer:

Situation: In my current role as a UX


designer at HP Inc, I've had the
opportunity to work on a variety of
projects and refine my design process
over time.

Task: When approaching a new


project, my first step is to thoroughly
understand the project requirements
and goals. I'll review any existing
research or data to inform my
understanding of the user and their
needs.

Action: Next, I'll begin to develop


personas and user scenarios that help
me understand the target audience
and their behaviour. Based on this
research, I'll then start to create
sketches and low-fidelity wireframes
to explore different design directions.

.... →
Question 2 Answer:

From there, I'll gather feedback from


stakeholders and users, refining and
iterating on the design based on their
feedback. Once the wireframes are more
fully developed, I'll start to create high-
fidelity mockups, incorporating visual
design elements like color, typography,
and imagery.

Throughout the design process, I'm


always focused on the user and their
needs, ensuring that the interface is
intuitive, user-friendly, and meets the
project goals. I also work closely with
developers to ensure that the design can
be successfully implemented.

Result: By following this process, I've


been able to successfully create
engaging and user-friendly designs for a
variety of products, resulting in positive
feedback from both users and
stakeholders.
Thanks for sharing your design
process, Tibi. It's great to hear that you
prioritize user-centered design and
work closely with stakeholders and
developers.

Based on your answer, I would rate it a


9 out of 10.

You did a good job of outlining the


various steps you take when
approaching a new project and how
you iterate based on feedback.

Providing specific examples of the


types of projects you've worked on and
how you've successfully applied your
design process would help me better
understand your experience and skills.

With that in mind, let's move on to the


next question.

I told you
Answering using STAR
method got me a solid 9.

Ok, let’s move to the 3rd


question.
Can you describe a time
when you had to work with
a difficult stakeholder or
team member, and how you
handled the situation?
Follow for
Daily UI/UX Tips Repost
Ok, let’s pretend we don’t
know how to answer to this
one.

What we do?

That’s the part where we
switch roles:

→ Open a “New chat” instance and


write the following prompt:

Prompt:

Act as a UX design
candidate and answer the
following question using the
STAR method:

“Can you describe a time


when you had to work with
a difficult stakeholder or
team member, and how you
handled the situation?”

Follow for
Daily UI/UX Tips Repost
Sure, I can describe a time when I had
to work with a difficult stakeholder
using the STAR method.

Situation: While working on a project at


my previous job, I encountered a
difficult stakeholder who was resistant
to any changes to the design.

Task: My task was to create a user-


friendly interface that met the project
goals while also addressing the
concerns of the stakeholder.

Action: To address this situation, I first


sought to understand the stakeholder's
perspective and concerns. I arranged a
meeting with them to discuss their
vision for the project, and listened
carefully to their feedback and
suggestions.

Follow for
Daily UI/UX Tips Repost
I then provided examples and

explanations for why certain design

decisions were made, highlighting how

they aligned with the user's needs and

business goals. I also offered a few

design options that took into account

the stakeholder's feedback, but still

met the user's needs and business

goals.

Throughout the process, I remained

professional and respectful, even when

faced with resistance or pushback. I

also kept open communication with the

stakeholder, keeping them informed

and involved throughout the design

process.

Daily UI/UX Tips Repost


Result: As a result of my efforts, the
stakeholder eventually came to
understand and appreciate the design
decisions made, and the final product
was well-received by both users and
stakeholders. Additionally, I was able to
build a positive working relationship
with the difficult stakeholder, and this
experience helped me become more
adept at managing stakeholder
relationships in the future.

Cool, we have some guidance.

Now it’s your turn to answer by


following this example.

Remember, as a designer,
your job is to solve problems,
not to know everything.

We solved the problem? Yes.

This is how we learn.

Good job, champ!

My Answer for Question 3:

During a mobile app project at my


current job, a team member was
resistant to feedback and suggestions.

I worked with him to incorporate


feedback and improve the design.

I provided clear feedback and


alternative design options. We had
discussions and brainstorming
sessions where we shared our ideas
and worked together to find the best
solution.

The team member became more


receptive to feedback and
suggestions, and we created a
successful design.

I built a positive working relationship


with them and developed my
collaboration and communication skills.
I wasn’t super specific
to see if chatGPT can
suggest this as an
improvement.

Let’s see how I did →

Follow for
Daily UI/UX Tips Repost
Thanks for sharing your experience
working with a difficult team member,
Tibi.

Based on your response, I would rate


your answer an 8 out of 10.

You did a good job of outlining the


steps you took to address the situation,
such as providing clear feedback and
alternative design options and having
discussions and brainstorming
sessions.

However, it would have been helpful if


you could have provided more specific
examples of the challenges you faced
and how you overcame them.
Additionally, it would be good to know
what the outcome of the project was
and how your efforts contributed to its
success.
