Starting point
Why a strong portfolio kept failing in UX/UI interviews
I have a strong portfolio, but I kept failing the portfolio-review stage. I couldn't clearly explain why I'd chosen a given pattern, and I got flustered under pressure.
With Cue
A mock interview with an AI art director and the awkward questions
I used the AI simulator to role-play a tough art director. The AI hit me with awkward questions: 'Why a dropdown here instead of radio buttons?' or 'How does this decision affect conversion?' I learned to answer in a structured way, without getting emotional.
Result
An offer from a product company on portfolio-review day
In the real portfolio review at a product company, I made a brilliant case for every pixel. I got the offer that same day.
