EP6. Did you even read the job description? UX interviewing with Mike Reed

Howdy and Hello! Welcome back to the UserFlows Podcast. My name is Thomas Morrell and I'll be your host. It's been a couple of weeks since we last spoke. In the last episode we got to speak with someone totally fresh to the industry, right out of the UX boot camp, and this week we get to speak with someone with a number of years of experience. So I think this will give us a really well-rounded view of interviewing for UX design roles both from the interviewee and the interviewer perspectives.

You can go back and listen to the last episode where I interview freelance UX/UI designer Ivan Crego where he talks about landing his first UX role. That is episode 5. This week we'll be speaking with Mike Reed. Mike is now Principle UX designer for a company called Infromatica in Ontario, Canada.

Mike is an experienced product designer (UX/UI) and manager who has led numerous successful consumer apps, eCommerce platforms, SaaS products, and analytics and management consultant tools to market - with proven business results.

Mike provides leadership, guidance, and insights for large-scale platform changes and long-term product decisions and strategies. Mike has implemented human-centered design processes, UI change management processes and tracking, business-driven quantitative testing, product acceleration sessions, and more.
