A UI with no work experience, what should I do in the interview?

I have worked in the position of ui design for many years. At first, I was a little white. Later, I worked hard to enrich my knowledge in this field, and I was also an experienced ui designer.

Now I will explain what I know and give you some suggestions, hoping to help students who are still confused.

A UI with no work experience, what should I do in the interview?

I believe this is a problem that many beginners have to face when looking for a job.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't shoot works, mainly because you want to interview the position of the company. This is the main, such as the direction below.

UI designers can design UI interfaces, web interfaces, as well as mobile applications and print advertisements.

If you want to apply for some traditional software companies, you'd better prepare some works of web interface and software operation interface.

It is best to prepare several sets of works for the interview. Interviews with works are easier to succeed than interviews without works!

Of course, you can also put some poster advertisements on your resume! Of course, your resume should be well designed. Try to be simple. It's really important to wrap yourself up. Pay attention to the typography of your personal presentation on the Internet. Remember that you are a professional designer!

Let me tell you something about the works that can be displayed.

List of works:

1.app interface is preferably 2 ~ 3 sets, each set has about 20 interfaces, and then this set of interfaces should be displayed by waterfall design or PPT.

2.PC interface: 2-3 sets of e-commerce web pages can also be designed.

3. Realistic pictures, drawn with ps mouse.

4. A set of linear icons, 1 ~ 2, theme icons

5. Some banners

6. Some illustrations

7. Real prototype of low income

8. Partial hand painting

9. Interactive display

You don't have to prepare all the above materials, just choose what you are good at!

In a word, it is best to work on a project that is close to reality. More importantly, you should learn how to explain your project, tell its advantages and disadvantages, and understand it with product thinking, so that the interview will have a better chance of winning.

Only by knowing yourself can you be handy.

In fact, no matter what works you bring, the premise is that you are good at these things. Only those works that you are good at will make your expression clear in the interview, not just show it if you are not good at it.

First of all, we must know the recruitment needs of enterprises. At present, the recruitment of UI positions in the market is mainly to do APP, website, software system, graphic design and so on. And enterprises always look at the works first, so they must have the above works.

However, it is difficult for a novice with no work experience to collect all the above works, but where can he gain without hard work? First of all, you should learn ui well, consult more friends who are engaged in UI work around you, understand their actual work projects, and then design a set of interfaces as your own work, which is more realistic and can greatly improve the chances of successful interviews.

Submit a resume

When you have your resume and works ready, you can check the recruitment needs related to UI design positions online, collect the positions that suit you, and it is best to submit your resume during working hours. You can deliver multiple companies with one click, or you can choose to deliver your resume with a purpose. If you have a company you want to go to, you can sort out the portfolio according to the business direction and requirements of the company you want to go to, adjust the display order and display weight of the portfolio appropriately, and increase the probability of getting an interview.

If you get an interview, you must know the company's culture, ideas and job requirements in advance. Master interview skills so that you can clearly express your design ideas. If you are not good at communication and expression, you can organize the design concept of your portfolio into a document in advance, and you must read more and remember more before the interview, which can greatly increase the chances of success in the interview.

Because there are many articles and books introducing this kind of workplace skills, which are not the focus of this article, I will not discuss them in detail here.

Learn more about ui design and bid farewell to the situation of "knowing everything, just not knowing".

At the same time, I hope that all designers can pass the interview and find their satisfactory jobs!
