I can apply again in "12-18 months" but I'm left with no information on what I can work on to improve myself and my chances for next time. Has anyone here not passed their first UX onsite but passed a later one, what did you do to improve? #design #interviews #ui/ux #onsite #google

    I failed 2 times before getting in.

    1st time, I did really well. My portfolio wasn’t strong though. my main problem was not taking team matching calls seriously enough

    2nd time felt very disorganized and interviewers were distracted. They didn’t know what room I was suppose to go to next and during brainstorms I felt their mind was somewhere else. I also think my presentation was too process heavy.

    3rd time just was a culmination of lots of interviewing knowledge I’ve gained.

    The best thing I did was stop thinking about how to explain everything about what I did in past projects but focus on what the interviewer needs.

    They need to go back to their desk, mark some scores in a rubric and add some text as to why.

    So your goal is to make those super clear. Have a story for all the thing that we’re looking for.

  • How did YOU feel the on-site went?

    • Sorry to hear. I’ve actually heard the opposite - one negative interview could actually be enough for a rejection. I know that probably doesn’t make you feel better, but if it gives a little clarity.

      Ugh I’ve had great recruiters who helped a ton and ones that are terrible and cause issues like this.

    12-18 months seem too long to wait to re-apply.. Is this standard for FAANG design positions?
