It Starts with a Conversation: A Guide to Interviewing UX Candidates
I believe that if asked, most people would say that they are good at conducting interviews. However, even the most experienced interviewers can get caught up in bad habits. We rarely take the time to assess our own interviewing skills or have others provide feedback on our technique.
There is no shortage of articles about how to ace an interview as a UX job candidate, but there has been little focus on how to be an effective interviewer. Assessing UX candidates can be particularly tricky because they can have highly diverse backgrounds, experiences, and skillsets. In this article, I will use several fictitious individuals to represent a variety of interviewer/interviewee situations and provide recommendations on how to avoid common interviewing pitfalls.

The Role of The Scientific Method & Intuition in UX
The scientific method is one of the more widely understood processes of obtaining evidence-based subject matter knowledge. It is a process of carefully and systematically collecting and evaluating empirical evidence to test ideas and answer questions. All of us at some point have felt that “AH-HA!” or the “eureka!” moment of sudden revelation or that “gut feeling” in a confusing or unsound situation. As UX professionals and decision-makers, it is important to note that the user experience is inseparable from the larger human experience and exercising scientific intuition becomes exceedingly important as we navigate the complex and evolving world around us.
Behavior Science Has a Place in UX
