interviewed with 2 designers
Was asked to describe one of my projects.
Was asked about usability testing experience. I told them I did not have that much at the time.
I was solely rejected for this reason. User interviews are not hard to do and not hard to learn how to do.
Seems like, if you don't hit everything on their checklist, then you're out.
Very Japanese mindset and thinking.
The interviewers didn't seem intelligent or creative at all.
Apparently, they don't believe individuals have the ability to learn or grow.
Doing user interviews doesn't require a Bachelors degree.
