"When you're interviewing for a role, you're also interviewing the company! Try to gleam how well you'll fit.
Ask questions about how the team is structured, product design process, what are the growth opportunities, what they value. Show your passion"-@femkesvs #RemoteDesignWeek

"Anyone can download a slick UI kit and make it look amazing. Show a really well thought out and empathetic approach to your work. Talk about people and how they would interact with things." - @stuthesmith on case studies in your portfolio #RemoteDesignWeek

"Breakaway from the cookie-cutter template! We know that you know. In the real world, nothing is that clear. Talk about things that didn't make the cut or things that didn't work out" -@rapidsnail and @missbangg on case studies, while everyone onscreen nods vigorously #DesignWeek

"In projects, leading yourself. How you took initiative on things and where you added value when people didn't want to do something. How were you influencing, how were you helping people around you make decisions."-@annaleeanda & Isru on how early designers can show leadership

"If your manager isn't following up on you as frequently, that's a good sign of growth. Getting that level of autonomy is a good sign" - Isru

"For new designers, I am looking for potential. For mid-level designers, I'm looking for autonomy." - @annaleeanda

In response to getting jobs and work in the current times, @stuthesmith said "Don't let the ego be the enemy while finding roles. There can be a lot of roles that will give you the experience. Go for the job even if it doesn't look sexy, you will learn a lot."

And finally props to the amazing moderation by @missbangg. Moderating a panel is an exceptional skill anyway, to have it be virtual at that!

Not a single person started speaking at the same time 🙈
