Salt’s advice for getting a new Product Design job
Employers’ requirements
As Product roles can be quite technical, Digital Product professionals must have a keen understanding of web development, from coding to layout. Considering many start off as UX and UI designers, this is usually not a problem. As well as being technically minded, you must also be able to communicate your ideas effectively, both to colleagues/stakeholders and your target audience. Management skills, creativity and analytical abilities are also a must.
Portfolio requirements for Product specialists
Product specialists need to show experience in a wide range of areas, including:
– Producing user journeys
– Translating audience research
– Taking user-centered design processes and applying them to product development
– Managing projects
– SaaSInterview preparation
Interviewers will likely ask you about the projects you have previously worked on and how you made them a success. This not only enables them to gauge your level of expertise, but illustrates your communication skills and how well you can explain complex concepts. Employers may also ask you about your knowledge of their company and your understanding of their processes in order to see how well you’d fit in.
Educational requirements
A degree in computer science, human-computer interaction or design will stand individuals in good stead, although extensive experience in product design or marketing in place of these qualifications may be enough for candidates to be considered.
Top Tip
"In your portfolio, you must outline your process for at least 2 projects. Those reviewing want to understand how you got to the result, so don’t be afraid to write words alongside each step. "
