Solving Product Design Exercises — Prepare for your next UX/product design job interview

@hvost Are there any courses that you took (or wished you took) in high school and post-secondary to get where you are in UX design?

I had the chance to beta-read Artiom’s book before it was published and give some feedback. Ironically after reading it, I received a design exercise for a potential internship and applied everything listed in the book to ways to solve it. This is a resource that you can’t find anywhere else It touches on many details & supplies resources that I would not have learned about or utilized otherwise. It’s great for anyone who is becoming a designer, is a designer, or wants more information on design exercises. Almost each page in my copy of the book has a note on it. There is so much beneficial information throughout the book. It has maximized my understanding of how to do a design exercise and what else is expected of me. I appreciate the hard work that was put into this book and can’t wait for further books or tips.

Hello PH! I’m super excited to share my book with you today! It’s goal is to help UX/product designers prepare for job interviews, practice their skills beyond aesthetics and help companies build designers hiring process. I believe there are not enough resources for designers to prepare for job interviews (unlike engineers/PMs). Often designers don’t know what to expect from the interview. In addition, they are mostly focused on the aesthetics and how things look over how they work and benefit the business. I decided to share my experience of hiring designers and my first step was sharing publicly the exercises we used during interviews at WeWork (https://blog.prototypr.io/produc...). The feedback I received was great. After talking to both designers and employees I decided to write this book that will help both designers and businesses to improve their skills, create better expectations and eventually build better products. The book features advice from design leaders who worked and led design teams at companies like Apple, Google, Pinterest, Square, IDEO, GitHub etc. Use this coupon code for a 15% discount RSDDHDEM2ZVF on the digital copy for the next 48 hours! UPD: Thank you PH, the book got to #1 in UX and #2 in Web Design categories on Amazon! 🙌

Pros:

Everything and more that you need to know about product design exercises is in this book

Cons:

None that I have found

My weakness is wireframe. I see wireframes in a book, I'll go look for the 'Buy Now' button. Don't need a second invitation. (thanks for the discount code BTW)

I'm so excited this book exists. This sort of thing has been around for engineers for years, but never for designers.

I haven't purchased yet but as college student who is about to graduate in May this sounds very insightful! Will definitely be purchasing!

mobi version's size is bigger than 50 mb. Amazon has 50MB limit for wireless sending. :/

sounds like a good initiative, i'm going to get my hands on the PDF.

This is amazing! Will definitely buy this for the interview. Thank you :)

Seems like a good idea to practice PM questions :-)

Damn, finally! I want this book!

Just bought my copy- can't wait!

Really cool
