Good Job

Tell a friend that you're interviewing (either someone who is hiring or looking to get hired), you'll likely be met with a sympathetic look. It's hard out there. Beyond the time sunk in research, preparing, screening and searching, there's the emotional rollercoaster that people on both sides are experiencing. Do they like me? Is this a good fit? Are they talking to other people? Was that interview super awkward? Why am I like this? Why is this so awful?

It doesn't have to be.

With a little strategy, tactical preparation, and finding genuine curiosity and honesty, the interview process can change from a laborious slog to a series of really compelling conversations. Ones that not only don't feel like work, but excel at matching the right person to the right job, at the right time.

Because interviews are functionally two-way conversations, this is a two-way book.

Designing Interviews is for the hiring manager: everything you need to know from reviewing a resume to making the decision of hire/no-hire.

Interviewing in Design is for the candidate: everything you need to know from prepping your resume to negotiating an offer you're thrilled to accept.

Both sides are for everyone: as a manager, you should have empathy for what the candidate is going through. As a candidate, you need to know what a hiring manager is looking for. For both sides of the table, you'll find everything you need to make it a Good Job.
