Regardless of my occupation at any given time, my entire career has been focused on interviewing and meeting with people. I feel so lucky to have the opportunity every day to build connections that help others land their dream job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With more than 12 years of recruiting experience across industries (including tech, healthcare, and retail), I\u2019ve conducted thousands of interviews at the individual contributor and leadership levels. Over the past four years here at Autodesk, I\u2019ve focused on UX design roles, from early career to VP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the interview process, after a candidate completes final interviews, I meet with panelists to gather feedback. I\u2019ve identified several themes and boiled that feedback down to my top five tips for interview success:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interview tip #1<\/strong>: <strong>Balance \u201cwe\u201d and \u201cme\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is my favorite tip! Interviewers struggle to move candidates forward when candidates don\u2019t clarify \u201cwe\u201d work (collaboration) vs. \u201cme\u201d work (their individual contributions).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Autodesk, we highly value collaboration and partnership, so we look for strengths in this area during interviews. But, if your responses don\u2019t clearly articulate <strong>both<\/strong> the <em>we<\/em> (team, cross-functional partners, stakeholders, company, product) and the <em>me<\/em> (what you specifically did, your approach, your thinking, your impact), the interviewer may struggle with a clear decision, because your responses lack clarity about your individual contributions, thinking, and impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the following example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/WeVsMe-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"A graphic shows a conversation between an interviewer and a candidate. The interviewer says, \u201cTell me about a time when your work made a significant impact to X.\u201d The candidate replies with a \u201cwe-focused\u201d answer: \u201cWe looked at X in the research. We did Y as a team. The results were Z.\u201d Then, the candidate replies with a \u201cme-balanced-with-we\u201d answer: \u201cI started by meeting with stakeholders on X because I felt it was important for Y. Next, I worked on Z by (describe).\u201d\" class=\"wp-image-78\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/WeVsMe-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/WeVsMe-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/WeVsMe-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/WeVsMe-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.autodesk.com\/autodesk-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/160\/WeVsMe.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The second response is stronger because it balances \u201cwe\u201d with \u201cme.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interview tip #2: Reflect on your work<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many companies conduct behavioral-based interviews, where they look for examples of your work to support your answers. In advance of an interview, take time to reflect on some of your biggest accomplishments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What did you specifically do to contribute to the success of the project?<\/li><li>Who did you partner with? How did you partner?<\/li><li>If you have a project that failed, what happened, what did you learn, how has it shaped your approach today?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Through this reflection, you\u2019ll have several examples ready to draw from during your interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interview tip #3: Consider the 4 Rs &#8211; review, research, recent, relevant<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take time to re-read the job description. If you\u2019re in the final stages of the interview process, <strong>review<\/strong> any notes you took during earlier conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do your <strong>research<\/strong> on the company and its products\/services, mission, customers, and culture. If you know the name of your interviewer(s), check out their LinkedIn profile(s). Understanding their experience will help you better understand the lens through which they are interviewing you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take all this information and align it with your <strong>recent and relevant<\/strong> experience, so you can respond with examples of your work that are most aligned to the role you\u2019re seeking. Don\u2019t mistake your proudest moment of work for the best example. If it doesn\u2019t connect with what\u2019s required of the role, the team will likely struggle to find alignment with your candidacy and the position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interview tip #4: Who are you?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you\u2019re hearing a chorus from the rock band The Who, or maybe you\u2019re still pondering the question. Wherever you find yourself with the answer, interviewers appreciate a quick intro that connects who you are with how you show up at work. I\u2019m not talking about reciting your resume or career history, or anything overly personal. But consider things you enjoy doing, your values, your approach to life, and how that shows up in your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re naturally adept at building connections and that\u2019s thematic in everything you do, highlight how that\u2019s helped you in your job. If you\u2019re an adventure seeker or risk-taker in your personal life, create a connection for how that benefits your team, the product, or your projects at the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Interview tip #5: Make it easy, stand out<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At any given time, recruiters have hundreds of resumes to review. This isn\u2019t their only job responsibility, so you can imagine the need for a clear, quick review for the most critical information. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to keep your resume clear, relevant, and simple. There are many great (and free!) templates available online. No one is judging if you use a template \u2013 the main ask is for quick and straightforward information. And these days, with the increase in remote work, it\u2019s also helpful to include the city where you reside on your resume. If your line of work allows for a portfolio, be sure to link to it when applying \u2013 and don\u2019t forget the password! We want to review your work and include you in the candidate pool, and an accessible portfolio is critical in that process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>As a candidate, the best things you can do are review the role and assess if you\u2019re truly aligned, do your research, and show up professionally yet authentically. Remember, this is a two-way process. While the team is looking for alignment with your candidacy and the needs of the role and team, you should also confirm if this is the right role, team, and company for you and your career goals. Following the above tips may have you well-positioned with options \u2013 and maybe even multiple offers. Good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heather Ryan has conducted thousands of interviews at the individual contributor and leadership levels.
