hi it me again.

so i have a portfolio walkthrough on tuesday - a recruiter for the company i'm interviewing with has actually encouraged me to reach out to the product designers on linkedin that i would be speaking to, and asking them of their personal experiences when they were interviewing for the company i am applying to, during their time.

my question is simply, if you were in my position, what kinds of questions or things would you want to know from the designers before my next interview on tuesday? (eg. personal tips to success) it's moreso a prep call and hopefully not getting blindsided or stumped on potential questions that would put me on the spot.

I personally dont know if the interviewers would directly tell you what questions they are going to ask in the portfolio walkthrough

#

but I think what helps is asking about the structure of the team, their challenges and their focus

#

that way you can structure your portfolio to show how you are "filling their gap"

yeah i'm not expecting them to give me their questions beforehand, it's best that they think of questions as i'm walking through my portfolio
