How to get your first UX design job interview

Let's UX

Competition for junior UX product design roles is fierce! Even internships attract talented, skilled and qualified people. Make sure your product design portfolio is securing you a place in the first round of interviews. I have seen dozens of applications in the last couple of years. Attaching a static mock-up with a CV is not enough to pass initial screening. I share here the essentials to include in your application and what things help filter out the maybes from the discard pile. I hope this helps you see your application from the perspective of the hiring team and gives you some ideas about what to revisit or polish. Best of luck!
