FAQ
-
What is a UX design challenge?
A design exercise is a design challenge which is used by companies to test interview candidates. Afterwards designers applying for a UX position are asked to present their solution. Such challenges can be used either for preparing for a job interview or just to practice your design skills. -
How companies use these exercises?
Companies are normally using such challenges during interview for:- 1) Live whiteboarding challenges — the candidate is asked to perform the exercise live with the interviewer, explaining their thinking and decisions while solving the task.
- 2) On-site exercises — the candidate is given about an hour to solve the problem while being in a comfortable, quiet space equipped with paper and pens. After an hour the candidate will present their solution with wireframes and sketches using a whiteboard.
- 3) Take-home exercises — the candidate must deliver a high-fidelity design within a defined deadline, usually four to eight hours.
-
What type of UX design challanges exist?
- Building a new product (e.g. build a desktop app dashboard for a general practice doctor).
- Change or improve an existing product (e.g. design a marketplace for freelancers which LinkedIn has decided to build as a part of their product).
- Conceptual tasks (e.g. design an alarm clock for the blind).
- Business metric-oriented tasks (e.g. improve Pinterest’s retention).
